Our Leadership

Krista Boyd, General Counsel and Vice President of Strategy for American Oversight, leads the organization’s risk mitigation, identification of emerging issues, and strategic engagement. 

Boyd is an experienced oversight and accountability leader. She served as the presidentially appointed, Senate-confirmed Inspector General of the Office of Personnel Management. In that role, she conducted oversight of over $1 trillion and led audits and investigations that uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse and identified tens of millions of dollars in potential savings.

Previously, Boyd served as Chief Counsel for Oversight and Policy for the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. She conducted high-profile investigations and advanced reforms in transparency, ethics, and whistleblower protections. She led efforts to enact the FOIA Improvement Act, the Inspector General Empowerment Act, and the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act, as well as  the creation of the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee.

Boyd earned a B.S. from Florida State University and a J.D. from the Emory University School of Law.
