Governor Ned Lamont today announced that Josh Geballe – who has been serving double-duty in the Lamont administration as commissioner of the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) and chief operating officer – has accepted a new job opportunity in the private sector and plans to leave service with the state effective February 14, 2022. The governor will be nominating Michelle Gilman of Colchester to succeed Geballe in the position of DAS commissioner.

Gilman currently serves as deputy chief operating officer in a position that she’s held since March 2020. In this role, she has managed numerous COVID-19 initiatives on behalf of the administration, including overseeing the alternate hospital site initiative to prepare for potential surge capacity, as well as implementation of the state’s nationally recognize free testing program with a strong emphasis on access for vulnerable populations. More recently, she supported the state’s vaccine program roll-out, working closely with medical providers, municipalities, and workforce partners to ensure an efficient, equitable implementation. Throughout the pandemic, she also assisted with PPE, medical equipment, and testing supply management to meet the needs of the state’s residents.

Prior to her current position, she served as assistant state comptroller under former Comptroller Kevin Lembo in a role that required her to oversee the office’s operations, policy implementations, and technology initiatives. She also formerly served as chief of staff in the Office of the Secretary of the State. She is a graduate of Central Connecticut State University.

DAS comprises many of the business functions of state government, including information technology, human resources, procurement, facilities and real estate, and construction services, among other areas.
