MDOT names Jada Kirk deputy executive director, chief financial officer

The Mississippi Department of Transportation named Jada Kirk deputy executive director for administration and chief financial officer, MDOT said.

Kirk was promoted after serving as director of the agency’s Financial Management Division, MDOT said.

The appointment follows the retirement of longtime Deputy Executive Director Lisa Hancock at the end of June, the agency said.

“Jada is a consummate professional in all that she undertakes, and she is undoubtedly the right person to lead the financial operations of MDOT as we move forward,” MDOT Executive Director Brad White said. “A fellow native of Simpson County, her efficiency, attention to detail, strong leadership ability and collaboration skills will help ensure the agency remains fiscally sound and maximizes the taxpayer dollars entrusted to us.”
