Ms. Amber H. Stein is a member of the Senior Executive Service and serves as the Deputy Director of Acquisition Programs. In this position, she is responsible for supporting the Coast Guard’s Program Executive Officer (PEO) in providing management oversight of all Coast Guard acquisition programs and projects for the modernization and recapitalization of surface, air, command and control, and logistics assets in support of the Coast Guard's multiple maritime missions.
