New Chief at International Bureau Completes FCC Spectrum Team

Yesterday Chairman Martin, no doubt smarting from my recent comment that he had not yet filled the top job in the International Bureau, named Helen Domenici as chief of that bureau. Now all the top spectrum policy jobs at FCC have been filled by Chairman Martin.

For the past five years, she has worked at the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in the Executive Office of the President as Assistant Director for Telecommunications and Information Technology. In this role, she has helped develop strategies and coordinate domestic and international policies with respect to telecommunications, broadband, spectrum, and Internet issues for the White House. Prior to joining OSTP, Helen served as a Policy Analyst for more than four years at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the International Bureau actively shaping policies with respect to telecommunications, the Internet, and broadband matters with special focus on infrastructure-related issues.

Before joining the FCC, Helen completed a MBA from Harvard Business School. Prior to attending HBS, she worked for the pharmaceutical company, Pfizer Inc., in the Federal Government Affairs Office, for five years. In addition to her MBA from HBS, Helen’s education includes a B.A. from the University of Virginia. She graduated with Distinction and is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society.
