Christopher McCannell, chief of staff to former Brooklyn/Staten Island Congressman Mike McMahon, has joined APCO Worldwide as VP in its D.C. office. Democrat McMahon fell to Tea Party-backed Michael Grimm in the 2010 election.
McCannell joins the independent PR giant from Ameriprise, where he held the VP-government affairs post doing outreach to the House Financial Services and Senate Banking committees. He also managed implementation of new rules under the Dodd-Frank reform law.
McCannell has additional government relations experience, earned from repping U.S. Chamber of Commerce, PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Bank of America while at Quinn Gillespie & Assocs.
Earlier in his career, McCannell served on the staffs of Democratic Congressmen Joe Crowley, Steny Hoyer and Paul Kanjorkski.
