A woman with experience in the public and private sectors will run WisDOT’s Disadvantaged Business Program moving forward.

The Department announced Tiesha “Tie” Flemingas its new DBE Program Chief.  Fleming replaces Madalena Maestri, who left the DBE program after five years to join the Federal Highway Administration.

Fleming comes to WisDOT after two years serving as Financial Program Supervisor in the Department of Correction Bureau of Correctional Enterprise.

Having studied communications at UW-Milwaukee, Fleming previously worked in the Medical College of Wisconsin’s grant office, managed a finance team at ITT Technical College, and handled federally funded accounts with US Bank.

She has a three-year-old son and enjoys traveling.

Fleming will work out of the WisDOT Southeast Region offices in Waukesha, but will be in Madison on Thursdays. Her first day is Monday, April 22.
