Background
Prior to assuming the role of acting administrator of GSA in January 2025, Ehikian was the Vice President of AI Products atCareer as Trump administration political appointee
As acting administrator of GSA, Ehikian oversees federal real estate and buildings, technology services, and $110 billion in federal contracts. During his first week as acting administrator, Ehikian outlined his goals of relocating agencies outside of D.C., removing DEI, environmental, and climate mandates on federal building construction and GSA contractors, and downsizing GSA's building portfolio. In February 2025, Ehikian called for cutting GSA's largest division, the Public Building Service, by more than 3,500 employees or 63% of the total workforce. GSA announced the reduction of its real estate portfolio by 50%, and plans to terminate 660 building leases by the end of 2025. Two weeks after Ehikian's appointment, GSA received an unsolicited offer from Stephen Ehikian's brother, Brad Ehikian, to purchase a 17-acre Menlo Park campus. The offer prompted a complaint to the GSA inspector general's office that a relative of the acting administrator was trying to buy a property at below-market value. In response, Stephen Ehikian recused himself from matters involving his brother. Brad Ehikian's offer was withdrawn after GSA informed him that the campus would be put up for public sale.See also
