Karen Mills, head of the U.S. Small Business Administration, announced her resignation today. As one of numerous appointees who are leaving in President Obama’s second term, her departure was not a surprise and in some ways was to be expected.
Mills, a former venture capitalist, was unanimously confirmed as SBA head by the U.S. Senate back in early 2009. In a prepared statement she noted, “I will stay on until my successor is confirmed to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.”
Mills’ position of SBA Administrator was elevated to a Cabinet level position in January of 2012. At the time, we praised that position being elevated and the elevation was generally approved by the small business community.
