Owens named to newly created position
PMG Megan J. Brennan has appointed Sharon D. Owens as Pricing and Costing vice president.
The newly created position oversees programs to strengthen the mailing experience for commercial customers, as well as the Postal Service’s regulatory reporting functions.
The position, which reports to the chief financial officer, was created by combining the Pricing and Regulatory Reporting and Cost Analysis organizations. The PMG said the combination will allow the Postal Service to “maximize our organizational effectiveness by leveraging collaborations between the pricing and costing teams.”
Brennan also praised Owens, saying her “strong business insights and extensive experience will serve her well in this new role.”
Owens’ previous assignments include serving as Northern Virginia district manager and manager of industry engagement and outreach. She has a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and a master’s degree in operations research from the College of William and Mary.

Didn’t Donadope already create a “VP of Pricing” position when he became PMG?
did this twat start her career on a IOD like Brennen? how many VP’s do we have now? 150! would be more impressed if she was a VP at UPS, FDX, or American Airlines! but then again you would need a brain.
Think about this, the next time these crooks whine about finances.
Jack Potter made more (from the USPS) than you did last year

POTTER
Former PMG Jack Potter
It has been almost five years now since Jack Potter retired as Postmaster General, so you might be surprised to learn that he’s still on the payroll- and he probably made more than you did last year. According to a recent OIG report, Potter was paid $110,625 in “deferred compensation” last year. Deferred compensation is a way of getting around federal executive salary caps- pay in excess of the cap in a given year goes in to a deferred compensation fund, to be doled out after the executive has left the USPS. Potter had over a million dollars accumulated in his fund when he retired. After receiving his payment last year, he has over a half million left. Potter is currently the President and CEO of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, where he is paid a reported $350 thousand a year, with up to a 20% annual bonus.
Potter isn’t the highest paid former USPS exec- that honor goes to Ross Philo. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, it’s understandable- Ross was CIO for just three years, from 2008 to 2011. Despite his brief tenure, he managed to pile up a deferred compensation fund of $642,999 before he left, on top of his regular salary, capped at $230,000. He was paid $150,111 last year, and still has over $450K of USPS customers’ money to look forward to in the coming years.
Yet *another* new highly compensated vp position.
And here I thought the usps was going broke…..
If you can’t afford to pay the current salaries of your carriers, clerks, and mail handlers without losing $1.2 BILLION and the current President of Pricing & Costing can’t fix the the problem where in the H$!! are you finding the MONEY, I repeat, finding the MONEY to pay and create a VP POSITION for Pricing & Costing. That’s right we always find MONEY to pay for any old or newly created MANAGEMENT POSITIONS without going BROKE. It’s cheaper to have a pen and paper in your hands than it is to actual sort/deliver/receive the mail.
I’m sure that I’ll feel the hand in my pocket come arbitration time to fund her salary. Why don’t we fire the people that were supposed to be doing this job all along? Or, did they screw up so bad that they were promoted also???????
Another nobody promoted. Must spend her weekends
baking muffins with Meaghan. What a joke. Another
100k a year wasted on a useless position. Fire them all
Over 200K per year base plus PFP bonus rolled in will put her pay at over 300K to do what the PRC,which sets prices already does.
the “newly created position” enough said
More waste
Another waste of money.
