PeopleReport: TechNet Reshapes Lobbying Team
TechNet has a nearly all new government and political affairs team.
The association for technology industry CEOs had been looking for a Democratic vice president since last fall when Alix Burns left to start her own consulting firm, Bay Bridget Strategies. Then Republican Vice President Andrea Hoffman left late last month.
TechNet has hired Betsy Mullins to replace Burns. Mullins most recently served as the deputy director of the Democratic Governors Association, where she served as member of the senior management team and liaison to the chairman, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson.
Mike Platt will fill Hoffman's job. Platt was the legislative director for Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., where he focused on technology, telecommunications, intellectual property, and trade policy.
Other news from this week's "PeopleReport" podcast: Google hired a new attorney for its Washington office, and FTC Chairwoman Deborah Platt Majoris received an award for her work in fighting identity theft and other Internet-related threats.
