Congressional Experience, Leadership Skills Cited in Hiring

Ron Stroman, Deputy Postmaster General

Ronald A. Stroman will bring more than 30 years of professional experience in government, legislative affairs and leadership when he joins the U.S. Postal Service as Deputy Postmaster General on April 4.

Stroman, who most recently served as staff director, Committee on Oversight and Government Relations at the U.S. House of Representatives, will lead all outreach and communications with congressional and mailing industry leaders as well as help ensure that every customer experience is a positive one.

The Deputy Postmaster General (DPMG) position, like the Postmaster General position, is hired by the Postal Service Governors. As Deputy Postmaster General, Stroman will serve on the Board of Governors and on Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe’s Executive Leadership Team. The vice presidents of Government Relations, Corporate Communications and Consumer and Industry Affairs will report to Stroman.

“The Board of Governors are pleased that Ron has accepted this appointment,” said Louis J. Giuliano, chairman, Postal Service Board of Governors. “His depth of understanding of the legislative process as well as his demonstrated ability to work with members on both sides of the aisle makes him an important addition to the USPS team as we work through the many issues facing us today.”

As DPMG, Stroman will play the lead role in continuing to work with Congress to restructure the prefunding of retiree health benefits, adjust delivery frequency, and gain greater flexibility in aligning the Postal Service processing, distribution and retail networks. He will work closely to help strengthen relationships with the mailing industry and identify opportunities to improve interactions with postal customers.

Stroman has held senior positions at the U.S. House of Representatives, the General Accounting Office and the U.S. Department of Transportation, among other positions. He earned his Juris Doctorate from Rutgers University Law Center.

“A manager and a leader, Ron’s career is a testament to his ability to work in a bipartisan fashion and communicate effectively through challenge and change,” Postmaster General Donahoe said. “I look forward to working closely with Ron as we continue our evolution as a forward-thinking, fast-acting company with outstanding service as its foundation.”

  1. What a great choice. He is a hardworking, compassionate, and talented man. He will bring new vision, common sense, a breath of fresh air to this department.

  2. WHATEVER THEY CAN DO TO PUSH OUT THE PEOPLE THAT REALLY DO THE WORK FOR THE POST OFFICE. THAT IS ALL WE NEED, ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL COMING IN TO DESTROY THE LIVES OF THE COMMON POSTAL WORKER, MAKING AN EXCESSIVE WAGE TO TALK ON THE PHONE AND HAVE PICNICS ALL DAY. I SEE WHAT GOES ON ALL DAY IN THE OFFICE!! THE HIGHER THE RANK IN THE POST OFFICE, THE LAZIER THEY GET, AS WELL AS, MORE DEMANDING

  3. Nothing like starting at top and working your way down. Just what we needed, another mouth to feed. The mans a lawyer and the best he can do is kiss the PM’s butt?

  4. Just what the old p.o. needs………another upper management weenie who does NOT touch the mail!!! Thought they were trying to SAVE money, not spend more. But then they DID buy these damned FSS machines to run flats on….wait – I thought volume was going down, down, down. Why did we spend way too much money to run volume that is decreasing???

  5. With the PO losing millions by the hour, I’m glad to see a new team leader taking this 6 figure position! Let’s all do our part to drive this company in a new direction – into the ground!

  7. Were not the Vice Presidents we have good enough for the job? Why did we go out side of the Postal Service?

  10. Maybe Mr. Stroman as a new employee will have visions that the ones that have been on the scene lack vision or have been blinded by the way things have always been. Sat. Delivery is a total wasted cost and that elimination would not deprive individuals and business from connecting as the INTERNET is the available messaging means as well as smart phones, tablets and new APPS becoming available.
    SAT. DELIVERY IS A WASTED COST; UNTIL 195,000 VEHICLES ARE IDLED TO REDUCE INCREASING FUEL COST GAS PROJECTED $4.00 GAL.. AND ELIMINATING PAYING SAT. DELIVERY 0PERSONNEL LOSSES SUCH AS WERE INCURRED IN FEB. WILL BE REPEATED MONTHLY. THIS IS THE MOST SIGNIFIGANT FACTOR TO GET COST IN LINE. The other cost reduction fall below eliminating SAT. DELIVERY.

  11. Board of Governors have vast business experience in finance and strategies in building a strong balance sheet in USPS operations as is demonstrated in today’s continuing massive losses. Appointment creates another high level salary to commensurate area of responsibility based on demonstrated business achievements which were not listed but must have been a Fortune 500 company.
    The mentioned reference as to dealing with legislative affairs insures that politics had no bearing as to appointment. A new vision as to a new approach in creating new revenue generation and reducing existing cost will boldly help in moving forward again in the second or third transformation of the USPS BOLDLY MOVING FOR AS DESCRIBED BY HARRY POTTER before he was given gold at the end of his service at the end of the rainbow.

  14. No mention of his past Postal Experience? But who knows, maybe he is an accomplished (Stamp-Licker) after all! If not, I`m sure he`s a quick study and will learn fast.

  15. Mr. Stroman is an American black and well educated… With his experience in the private sector will be a plus to the USPS…well known for no PEOPLE SKILLS..you know….
