CompTIA Undergoes Changes
The Computing Technology Industry Association is undergoing some changes with the exit of head lobbyist Roger Cochetti and new CEO Todd Thibodeaux moving in. Thibodeaux, a former senior vice president of industry relations at the Consumer Electronics Association, assumed the role of president and CEO of the group on Sept. 1. Thibodeaux succeeded John Venator who is currently running CompTIA's Educational Foundation. Cochetti is returning to his consulting practice, RJC Associates.
CompTIA spokesman Mike Wendy said Cochetti's position will not be filled for the time being and Chris Katopis, who is director of intellectual property, will take over Cochetti's federal responsibilities. CompTIA remains financially strong thanks to revenue from its IT skills certification programs, Wendy added. The public policy group plans to become more streamlined and focus more on workforce issues, green IT, and small business. CompTIA's federal government affairs team currently includes four other lobbyists: Robert Kramer, Trista Roehl, Ted Bush, and Lamar Whitman -- Winter Casey
