Norbert Doyle, a top acquisition executive at the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management, is taking a two-year posting as a faculty member at the National Defense University’s National War College in Washington, D.C.
Although still an Office of Environmental Management (EM) employee, Doyle will serve as the DOE faculty chair at the National War College, according to an “EM Colleagues” email sent out last Wednesday by the office’s top managers, William “Ike” White and Todd Shrader.
The National War College’s mission “is to educate future leaders of the Armed Forces, Department of State, and other civilian agencies for high-level policy, command and staff responsibilities,” according to its website.
Angela Watmore agreed to step in for Doyle on an acting basis effective Monday July 19, according to management’s email, a copy of which was seen by Weapons Complex Monitor.
In her most recent federal posting, Watmore was a special procurement adviser for DOE’s Office Corporate Services, according to the email. In the new role, “Angela will have oversight of all pre-award and post-award contracting activities across the EM complex and oversee all project management activities of the complex,” according to the email.
A licensed attorney, Watmore has over 25 years of contract and project management experience within private industry and the federal government. She once served as acting chief of staff at the Office of Environmental Management.
Watmore’s new post within EM leadership is reflected in the cleanup office’s latest organizational chart posted Monday.
Doyle is the deputy assistant secretary for acquisition and project management, as well as EM’s head of contracting in the Office of Corporate Services and has been with EM for about six years, serving in various roles, according to the email. Doyle, who has held several federal procurement and logistics jobs since retiring from the U.S. Army in 2008, is himself a graduate of the National Defense University.
