Evan Feinman Out at Commerce Department’s NTIA

WASHINGTON, March 16, 2025 – Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program Director Evan Feinman is no longer with the Commerce Department, he said on Sunday morning. Friday was his last day leading the $42.5 billion program.

“I am disappointed not to be able to see this project through, but I remain deeply proud of the work we got done together and the team at NTIA that I leave behind to see the job through,” Evan Feinman said in an email. “I don't know what my next chapter will be, and I'm going to take some time to consider that.”

Feinman had directed the program’s implementation at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration since 2022. He previously spent more than 6 years heading Virginia’s Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission before becoming the chief broadband advisor to then-Virginia Governor Ralph Northam.
