CPO, chief performance officer, is a position covering federal government budgeting and reform.
Change? Nope. Nancy Killefer was former assistant secretary of the treasury in the Clinton Administration.
Her bio reads as follows:
Nancy Killefer is a senior director in the Washington, D.C. office of McKinsey & Company, Inc. She is a leader of McKinsey’s Public Sector Practice, specializing in developing strategies and improving organizational effectiveness for a range of government clients.
Nancy joined McKinsey in 1979 and during her career focused on strategy, marketing, and organizational effectiveness and efficiency issues with an emphasis on consumer-based and retail industries.
From 1997 to 2000, Nancy served as Assistant Secretary for Management, CFO, and COO at the United States Department of the Treasury. In addition to overall management responsibilities for Treasury’s 14 bureaus and 160,000 people, she led a major modernization at the Internal Revenue Service, prepared Treasury’s systems for Y2K, and reshaped management processes, including installing an asset management program across the Treasury Department.
After returning to McKinsey in 2000, she joined the IRS Oversight Board, a public-private entity akin to a corporate board that oversees the IRS. She served there from 2000 to 2005 and was its Chairperson from 2002 to 2004.
Nancy received her M.B.A. from the Sloan School of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She holds a B.A. with honors in economics from Vassar College. Prior to business school, Nancy worked as an associate at Charles River Associates, a microeconomics consulting firm.
Sloan is a superb school, not as good as Columbia though!

Your said “Sloan is a superb school ..
So you got that right!
“.. not as good as Columbia though”
How so?
Consider US News and World Report rankings ..
Best Business Schools - Sloan #4 (behind Harvard #1, Stanford #1 and Wharton #3); Columbia #9
Not only that, Sloan is #1 in ..
Economics
Information Systems
Supply Chain/Logistics
Production/Operations
Columbia is #1 in nothing?!
Now let’s rephrase what you said .. Columbia is a great biz schools, not as good as MIT/Sloan though.

Killefer has been chosen to be the Chief Performance Officer for President-elect Barack Obama’s Executive team last January 7, Wednesday. This position is designed to bring efficiency to the government performance. And the purpose of this is to eliminate government waste and to improve efficiency. Senior director Nancy Killefer has been a member of four different offices left the firm to take a position at the senior level within the U.S. Department of Treasury. She has gone on to chair the committee that elects all new McKinsey partners and to lead the Public Sector Practice. Hopefully Barack Obama’s economic stimulus plan will bring the American country out of recession and restore confidence into the heart of its people. Of course, like I stated earlier, accomplishing this goal will need the full support of the entire Obama administration.
