Indiana Government - Gov-elect Daniels names new head of State Personnel Dept.

The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette is reporting this morning that:

Gov.-elect Mitch Daniels announced Debra Minott, who was once general counsel and secretary of Fort Wayne’s Essex International, will head the State Personnel Department.

A native of Grand Rapids, Mich., Minott spent 11 years at Eli Lilly and Co. after starting her legal career at the Indianapolis law firm of Ice Miller. * * *

“Like Pat Miller, Chuck Schalliol, and others to come, Deb is a top talent who has never before served in public life,” Daniels said in a written statement. “From the beginning we’ve said that we would bring a new crew with unprecedented abilities and a fresh outlook, and you are seeing that start to take shape.”

Minott said she will be searching for people who are not satisfied with business-as-usual.

“The recruitment, retention and motivation of high-caliber people who are change agents will be critical in achieving our objectives, and I am ready to dive in,” Minott said.
