Jocelyn Brown-Saracino, who spent 15 years with the Department of Energy, has been selected to head the DOE Alumni Network, Tarak Shah, former DOE chief of staff during the Joe Biden administration, announced last week on LinkedIn.
“Having gotten to know Jocelyn over this search process, I am SO excited that she is going to help create a platform for our collective continued impact and engagement,” Shah said of the new executive director in a Friday LinkedIn post. “She is kind, smart, embodies the fierce urgency of now, and has an amazing vision for us.”
Brown-Saracino served in a variety of positions at DOE, with her latest being offshore wind lead at the department between February 2021 and April 2025, according to her LinkedIn profile. Since then, she has been a senior adviser to the National Offshore Wind Research and Development Consortium.
The DOE Alumni Network formed this summer to provide connections and career support to ex-feds who departed DOE via retirement, buyouts or layoffs.
