- Biography
-
Eugene Louis Dodaro is an American politician who was the comptroller general of the United States and head of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) from 2008 to 2025. From October 1, 2000, until March 12, 2008, he was the chief operating officer (COO) of the GAO and he held the equivalent second-in-command title before the late 2000 restructuring of the GAO, principal assistant comptroller general, a title he had held since May 1999. This change of titles is a result of the organization-wide restructuring rather than a promotion or other event in his career; from May 1999 through to March 12, 2008, Dodaro retained the position of second in command of the GAO. Dodaro announced his retirement in 2025 and retired as comptroller general on December 29.
