#12 - Bob Hale
Pentagon comptroller
The Pentagon spends $74 million every hour, and Hale is the man responsible for accounting for it all. Since he knows what’s being spent and where, he’s also charged with making sure the Pentagon is achieving its cost-cutting goals. Despite the sometimes mind-numbing number crunching he does on a daily basis, Hale
can explain with ease, candor and humor even the most complicated aspects of the defense budget. Brutally honest and upfront, the former Navy officer will be instrumental in guiding the Pentagon through what likely will be years of constrained spending as the nation seeks to cut its deficit.
