I am proposing the following changes. Specifically, the content below regarding VA is being provided because it pertains to the subject’s direct involvement in helping to address and solve known critical issues at VA.

Another important decision by McDonald was the creation of the Veterans Experience Office [2] which addressed the critical concern of how Veterans received better service from the VA. One of McDonald’s first acts under the new office was the hiring of Tom Allin in 2015 as the agency’s first ever chief veteran experience officer [3] to address the agency’s treatment of Veterans.
The decision by McDonald to bring private sector experience to VA in the hiring of Allin, and, his realignment the agency under 12 breakthrough priorities [4] created organizational change [5] that led to a reduction in disability claim backlogs for the agency, its lowest since 2009 [6].
Career
Please change the last sentence in the first paragraph to:
“As chief executive officer, McDonald oversaw a $10 billion restructuring plan.”
