FCC Makes Two Executive Appointments

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski announced Thursday the appointment of Greg Guice as director, Office of Legislative Affairs (OLA). Guice most recently was acting director of OLA and special counsel for House Affairs.

Genachowski also announced the appointment of Christopher Lewis as deputy director of OLA. Lewis previously was acting deputy director and legislative analyst in the office.

Greg Guice has worked as an attorney for the commission for the past 12 years, with experience in wireline, wireless and public safety issues. During his tenure with the FCC, Guice was detailed to serve for nearly two years as counsel to then-Chairman Henry Waxman on the Energy and Commerce Committee, helping with the committee’s work on universal service reform, competition policy, public safety and spectrum policy.

Guice received his B.A. in political science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his J.D. from George Mason University.

Christopher Lewis will be deputy director of OLA. Prior to joining OLA, he handled legislative affairs for the FCC’s National Broadband Plan team. Lewis has also served as a senior adviser on the commission’s Digital Television Transition policy team.

Lewis graduated from Harvard University with a B.A. in government.
