DOVER, DE — Secretary of Transportation Jennifer Cohan announces Anne Brown as the new Director of Maintenance & Operations (M&O) for the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT). Brown is the first woman to lead Maintenance & Operations, and succeeds Mark Alexander, who retired from the department on September 30, 2019, after 32 years of service.

Brown has been with DelDOT since 2010, beginning her career in Maintenance & Operations as a Fiscal Management Analyst in the Business Management section before being promoted to Chief of Administration for Maintenance & Operations. Brown has most recently served as the Assistant Director of Finance for DelDOT.

“Maintenance & Operations oversees a wide variety of responsibilities including snow removal, road and bridge repair, cleaning drainage systems and equipment fleet maintenance to name a few,” Cohan said. “Anne has extensive knowledge of the entire M&O division, and we are very happy to have her leading this group of 600 employees going forward.”

“I am excited and grateful to have this opportunity to serve as Director of M&O,” Brown said. “I've seen firsthand the great work our men and women do year-round to maintain our transportation network and look forward to supporting them as we continue to fulfill our responsibilities.”

Brown, a resident of Kent County, has a bachelor's degree in business management and Master of Business Administration from Wilmington University.
