Rosenworcel Installs New Bureau Heads

FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel changed the leadership of several FCC bureaus Monday. She had until Monday retained numerous department heads from the administration of previous FCC Chair Ajit Pai.

Holly Saurer, a longtime Media Bureau staffer who had been serving as Rosenworcel’s acting media adviser, will become MB chief, replacing Michelle Carey. Former Public Safety Bureau Deputy Chief Debra Jordan will replace Lisa Fowlkes in that bureau’s top spot. Alejandro Roark, former executive director for Latino civil rights group HTTP, is the new chief of the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, replacing Patrick Webre. Loyaan Egal, former deputy chief in DOJ's National Security Division Foreign Investment Review Section, will become Enforcement Bureau acting chief, replacing Chief Rosemary Harold.

Michelle Ellison, who has served as general counsel in an acting capacity under Rosenworcel, will take the job on a permanent basis. “I’d also like to thank Michelle Carey, Lisa Fowlkes, Rosemary Harold, and Patrick Webre, for their public service as they transition to new roles across the agency,” Rosenworcel said Monday.
