The Office of the State Comptroller announced two top-level hires Tuesday.
Ravi Ramanathan, an attorney at Jenner & Block LLP, will join the office’s Investigations Division, while Kaitlyn Woolford, a longtime state employee who spent years at the state Treasury before moving to the Department of Health to bolster New Jersey’s pandemic response will become the office’s chief of staff.
“We are thrilled that Ravi Ramanathan and Kaitlyn Woolford have come aboard,” said Acting State Comptroller Kevin Walsh. “Their leadership will allow OSC to continue to execute our mission of uncovering fraud, waste, and misconduct in New Jersey government. As New Jersey’s watchdog, we’re firmly committed to making government more transparent and efficient on behalf of taxpayers.”
The office earlier this month announced an investigation that found the state’s workers’ compensation policy pushed costs onto pension funds and away from insurers.
