Kim Davis Lebak is taking over as the manager of the Los Alamos Field Office, shifting to the role from the top federal spot at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Lebak has served as the head of the Lawrence Livermore Field Office since January 2012, and previously served as the Deputy Site Office Manager at Sandia National Laboratories. She also has worked at DOE and NNSA headquarters as well as at the Pantex and Savannah River field offices. “With her strong leadership skills and wide experience at both headquarters and in the field, Kim is perfect as our Los Alamos Field Office Manager,” acting NNSA Administrator Bruce Held said in a statement. “Secretary Moniz and I believe that Kim and Los Alamos National Laboratory Director Charlie McMillan will make a great team in promoting mission excellence in science, security, nuclear safety and project management.”
Nicole Nelson-Jean, who had been detailed to the Los Alamos Field Office as a senior advisor to Held, will take over as the acting Lawrence Livermore Field Office manager while a search for Lebak’s successor takes place. The Los Alamos Field Office has been headed up in an acting capacity by Geoff Beausoleil and Ike White since Kevin Smith left the office in 2012.
