Makovsky has opened a Washington office led by Andy Beck, a one-time PA director for the Dept. of Energy.
He will head the New York-based shop’s energy and sustainability practice.
Beck also did stints at the Environmental Protection Agency and Transportation Dept.
Most recently, he served as chief communications officer for Lighting Science Group, the $125M maker of LED lamps and fixtures designed to shave energy costs and reduce carbon footprints.
Earlier, Beck headed MWW’s energy/environmental practice in D.C., and worked at the National Automobile Dealers Assn. and Natural Gas Assn. of America.
Ken Makovsky lauds Beck as a "first-rate strategic thinker" who can boil down complex issues to make persuasive arguments to further a client’s goal.
