Governor Fallin names interim director of Office of Management and Enterprise Services

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — Oklahoma's governor has named an interim director for the Office of Management and Enterprise Services.

Governor Mary Fallin announced Oct. 31 that she has named Denise Northrup interim director for OMES. Northrup takes over for Preston Doerflinger.

“Denise has served as the chief operational officer for OMES since November 2016, and prior to joining OMES served as my chief of staff for the office of the governor. I know OMES will be in experienced, capable hands under Denise’s leadership," Fallin said.

Doerflinger was named interim director of the Oklahoma State Department of Health Monday following the resignation of OSDH Terry Cline. Cline's resignation came as state auditor looks into financial problems in the agency.OMES manages and supports the basic functions of the state government and provides financial, property, purchasing, human resources and information technologies for all state agencies.
