The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has appointed Jennifer Golder and James Corbett as chief human capital officer and director of the office of administration, respectively.
The agency said Wednesday the appointments will take effect on Sept. 8.
As leader of the office of the chief human capital officer, Golder will oversee NRC’s human capital planning, policy and program development. Corbett, meanwhile, will manage the agency’s centralized services, including acquisitions, facilities and security, property management and administrative service.
Golder joined NRC in 1999 starting as a program analyst in the office of the chief financial officer before her promotion to deputy director of information and records services division under the office of information services. She also served as director of planning, budgeting, and program analysis staff under the office of federal and state materials programs.
She continued to climb up the ladder becoming budget director, associate director of HR operations and policy, chief learning officer and deputy chief human capital officer. Prior to her latest promotion, Golder held the director of the office of administration position and was acting chief financial officer.
Corbett has been with NRC for more than 22 years. He started as the chief of computer operations and telecommunications branch then deputy director of infrastructure and computer operations division.
Other leadership positions Corbett held at NRC include director of the business process improvement and applications division, director of the acquisition management division and deputy director of the Office of Administration since 2019. He briefly served as acting chief performance officer at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and worked in the financial industry before joining NRC.
