Obama Unveils Tech-Innovation-Govt Reform Team
President-elect Barack Obama's technology, innovation and government reform working group within his transition team has been announced. Members include Sonal Shah, Julius Genachowski, and Blair Levin. Shah, who heads the Google foundation's global development efforts, previously served as vice president at Goldman Sachs where she developed the firm’s environmental policy. Genachowski, a longtime friend of Obama's, is cofounder of Rock Creek Ventures and a former senior executive at IAC/InterActiveCorp. Levin is a managing director of Stifel Nicolaus and serves as the firm’s principal telecom, media and tech regulatory and strategy analyst. He previously served as chief of staff to FCC Chairman Reed Hundt in the Clinton administration.
Meanwhile, my colleague Bara Vaida reports on Obama's congressional affairs team roster on NationalJournal.com's Lost In Transition blog. The congressional aides chosen by Obama and his transition directors to plot strategy before Jan. 20 are names to know on K Street -- and elsewhere around Washington, she writes.
