You went to the 2020 list and didn’t find the guy appointed in 2025?

I’m shocked.

OK. It's the only published list, linked directly from the source you keep citing, and obviously definitive for the last guy who had the job, but whatever you say.

EDIT: and finally, finally, here's the public job listing for the CBER [1]. It's a competitive hiring position, as part of the 21st Century Cures Act (2016) [2].

It's not a political appointment. Full stop, end of discussion.
