Arguably one of the most critical components to securing our nation against another catastrophic attack, Deputy Administrator Rossides has the broadest understanding of the TSA's history, current position and future direction than nearly anyone at the Department.

Rossides was one of the six original federal executives hand-picked in 2002 to build TSA – the largest public mobilization since World War II. From December 2002 through September 2004, she served as TSA's Associate Administrator/Chief Support Systems Officer. In 2004, Rossides was tapped to serve as a Senior Advisor to the Deputy Secretary and Under Secretary for Management for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

In 2005, Rossides returned to TSA. Her proven leadership skills in organizational development, business process improvement and security operations provided key expertise in transforming TSA into the more flexible and dynamic agency that it is today.

Rossides' accomplishments include re-engineering a multi-layered security strategy; increasing comprehensive intelligence-sharing; developing network-centric, collaborative partnerships with stakeholders; establishment of Transportation Sector Network Management (TSNM); creation of TSA's Senior Leadership Team (SLT); and the inclusion of core competencies in critical incident management, acquisition and program management.
