As Regional Administrator, Ann
Kalayil was responsible for 128 Federal buildings, 986 leased
locations, 11 U.S. land ports, nearly 1,000 employees, and about $150
million in contracts to small and economically disadvantaged
businesses. To say Ann Kalayil had a big job is an understatement, but
it will come as no surprise to the people who know her that she met the
challenge head-on and thrived in the role. Her story is the story of the American dream. Born in Chicago, Ann
was the daughter of Indian immigrants. When she was 5 years old, her
parents moved back to Kerala, India. It was the first time Ann met her
siblings, Tom, Sales, and Lisa.
