Montana’s Top Admin Chief Steps Down | Bozeman News
Description
Misty Ann Giles is stepping down as Montana’s Department of Administration director after nearly three years, with Mark Blasdel, a seasoned state lawmaker and current economic development chief, set to take over in September. Giles, Montana’s first Chief Operating Officer, oversaw major state operations including HR, IT, and the Montana Lottery, navigating pandemic recovery and rural broadband investments — though she faced legislative scrutiny over lottery vendor contracts. Blasdel, with deep legislative experience including roles as House Speaker and Senate President, will bring a business-minded approach to the state’s most critical administrative hub.
