Maj. Gen. Sarah Zabel
Director of Information Technology Acquisition Process Development, Air Force
Sarah Zabel has been tremendously successful in her 30 year career in the Air Force. After serving for a handful of years as the No. 2 at the Defense Information Systems Agency, the major general was named last year as director of IT acquisition process development in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition. While she hasn’t had much time in that role yet, Zabel said it was the most thrilling part of the past year, and she looks forward to developing in it. “Everybody…is not satisfied with what we’ve done in the past, they want change, they are willing to take risks and actually make change,” Zabel said. “I’m excited because right now we have the leadership lined up to really make acquisition effective.”
