“I applaud the United States Senate’s bipartisan confirmation of Dilawar Syed as Deputy Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration. Dilawar is an accomplished entrepreneurial leader who will be a part of my team working to advance the Biden-Harris Administration’s mission to expand access to capital and services for small businesses across the country.
