FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski announced Tuesday that he has tapped Rick Kaplan to be his new chief counsel and senior legal adviser. Kaplan will succeed Bruce Gottlieb, who is leaving the FCC at the end of July.
Kaplan already works for the FCC, serving most recently as chief of staff to Commissioner Mignon Clyburn since she joined the commission last year. Prior to that, he worked as the deputy coordinator of the FCC's digital television task force.
Before joining the FCC, Kaplan was an associate at the Sidley Austin law firm and also worked in the U.S. House of Representatives' Office of the General Counsel.
Genachowski said Kaplan "has a keen intellect, great judgment, deep insight into the challenges and opportunities of the modern communications landscape, and the ability to build consensus among a wide variety of stakeholders."
With Kaplan's move to Genachowski's staff, Angela Kronenberg will succeed him as Clyburn's chief of staff. Kronenberg most recently served as Clyburn's wireline legal adviser, providing advice on wireline, broadband and universal service issues.
Clyburn also announced that Eloise Gore will move from the FCC's Media Bureau, where she has served as associate chief since 2008, to become the commissioner's adviser on media and consumer issues.
