Sullivan originally opened the firm in 2002 and ran it for six years with clients like UBS, AT&T and Baptist Children and Family Services before taking the top post to lead Perry’s 260-staffer operation in 2009 for two years. He then guided PR for Perry’s relatively brief stint on the presidential campaign trail in 2011.
Earlier, he was national spokesman for the Bush-Cheney campaign in 2000, deputy communications director for Gov. George W. Bush for three years, and a state press director for the Bush-Quayle campaign in 1992.
Sullivan handles PR, PA and lobbying.
He previously served in staff positions for Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tex.) and Reps. Sam Johnson (R-Tex.) and Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), in addition to a stint at Karl Rove+Company.
