Tim McGivern, a 15-year veteran of AT&T, has shifted to Ogilvy Government Relations' DC office.
The WPP unit billed McGivern as "an expert relationship builder and problem solver" who helped a corporate giant "navigate a multitude of legislative, regulatory and political initiatives."
Chris Giblin, Ogilvy principal, praised McGivern's "strategic experience in Washington," which is "deep and wide" along with his "genuine and extensive" relationships.
Prior to AT&T, McGivern served as chief of staff for Congressman and Senator Sam Brownback, who is now governor of Kansas.
Ogilvy signed AT&T as a lobbying client in April for issues before the Federal Communications Commission (`Net Neutrality, spectrum) as well as general tax matters.
