Manny Rodriguez
Director, Management Division, Office of Biometric Identity Management
Department of Homeland Security
Manuel (Manny) M. Rodriguez is the Management Division Director of the Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM) within the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). OBIM, formerly the United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) Program, is the lead entity in the DHS for biometric identity management services across Government. Mr. Rodriguez provides oversight of the business operations within OBIM. As the Division Director, he leads the program-level planning and support services that are critical to OBIM operations, in an integrated manner. In December 2011, Mr. Rodriguez was called to lead the US-VISIT Transition and subsequent establishment of the Office of Biometric Identity Management. Despite this major change in direction, over a year’s worth of planning activities provided a solid foundation for the rapid execution of the enacted transition legislation. Mr. Rodriguez began his career at DHS with US-VISIT in October 2003 as the Director of Facilities and Engineering. In this capacity he was instrumental in implementing the US-VISIT facilities and environmental solutions at all air, land, and sea ports of entry in the United States. In 1979, Mr. Rodriguez was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army through the Reserve Officer Training Corps program at the Polytechnic Institute of New York where he also received a bachelor’s of science degree in industrial engineering. During his military career, he served in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from 1979–1983 as a troop unit leader, operations officer, and Deputy Director for Public Works in Baumholder, Germany. Mr. Rodriguez is presently retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the U.S. Army Reserve.
