Brunswick Group has named Chris Padilla, a veteran of IBM and the US Commerce Dept., as a senior advisor in its Washington office.
He exited a 15-year run at IBM as VP-government and regulatory affairs, responsible for teams in more than 35 countries dealing with trade issues and sanctions compliance matters.
Padilla served in the George W. Bush administration as Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade, and as Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration.
He also was Assistant United States Trade Representative, a Senior Advisor at the Department of State, and a member of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China.
Earlier, he had international trade, business development, and marketing jobs at AT&T and Eastman Kodak.
