Greg Hogan, DOGE Affiliate, Takes Lead of GSA’s Login.gov Platform

Greg Hogan, an affiliate of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been appointed acting assistant commissioner of the Technology Transformation Services (TTS), a unit of the General Services Administration (GSA). In this role, he will oversee Login.gov, the federal government’s secure login and identity service.

DogE operatives entered the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in early 2025. While at OPM, Hogan approved a privacy impact assessment that enabled a new email server used to distribute agency-wide messages, including the “Fork in the Road” email encouraging a “deferred resignation.” The server later faced a lawsuit alleging OPM failed to publish the privacy impact assessment. In early 2025, TTS lost roughly 50 % of its staff after Thomas Shedd, a former Tesla engineer, assumed leadership. Hogan joined the federal government from Comma.ai in January 2025.

Federal CIO Gregory Barbaccia wrote to TTS staff that Hogan will focus on expanding Login.gov’s user base and on positioning the service as a leading identity platform. The General Services Administration declined to comment when approached for additional remarks.

Federal workers have sued over the OPM email server, alleging a violation of privacy-impact-assessment requirements. The “Fork in the Road” email and the request for weekly work-accountability have been described as attempts to monitor federal employees. The staff loss at TTS under Shedd raised concerns about operational stability.

The source notes that GSA did not respond to a comment request, leaving the agency’s official position on Hogan’s appointment and the future direction of Login.gov unverified. No independent verification of the 50 % staff loss at TTS is provided.
