Laura Stanton

Federal Leadership
As deputy commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service at the General Services Administration, Laura Stanton is reshaping how the federal government buys and manages technology, particularly as GSA is made a central figure in procurement under the Trump administration. Within FAS, where she previously was assistant commissioner for the IT category, she champions approaches that make procurement faster, smarter, and more transparent. Stanton is known for bridging the gap between policy and execution, helping agencies tap into modern cloud, cybersecurity, and shared service solutions without unnecessary complexity. Her focus on collaboration and innovation has made FAS not just a contracting hub, but a driver of government-wide digital transformation.
