G2 Global Solutions (G2) President & CEO Elizabeth Galati met with Maria Contreras-Sweet before her swearing-in ceremony on April 7th, 2014 with other veteran entrepreneurs to discuss ways the Small Business Administration (SBA) can further support veteran-owned small business.
Maria Contreras-Sweet hit the ground running on her first day as head of the SBA, meeting with the agency’s disaster assistance team and veterans organizations hours before she was even sworn in for her new post.
“She really didn’t wait for the ceremony,” President Barack Obama noted at Contreras-Sweet’s formal swearing-in at the White House.
Vice President Joe Biden delivered the oath of office to Contreras-Sweet, who succeeds the long-gone Karen Mills as SBA administrator after nearly eight months of acting administrators.
