The US Treasury official who oversees the world’s largest financial infrastructure, including the federal government’s cash-management operations and debt financing, is stepping down from the job.
David Lebryk, the Treasury’s fiscal assistant secretary for more than a decade, is leaving the department, according to an email seen by Bloomberg. His job is the Treasury’s most senior career position, and Lebryk had served as acting Treasury secretary earlier this month — between Janet Yellen’s departure and Scott Bessent succeeding her. Lebryk said he was retiring after 36 years of federal service, the email showed.
