Publicly traded LifeLock is boosting its profile after a blockbuster $100M settlement last year with the Federal Trade Commission, which, along with 35 state attorneys general accused the company of promoting its services with false claims in violation of a 2010 court order.
Allman takes the role of VP of government affairs and corporate social responsibility. Executive VP of corporate affairs Jill Nash said the company is certain its government outreach and CSR efforts "will yield even greater results for consumers and partners" under Allman's leadership.
Allman, a former press secretary to Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.), worked policy roles for the TechAmerica and the Recording Industry Association of America.
LifeLock posted third quarter 2016 revenue of $170.3M, up 12%, with net income of $14.4M and is turning the corner from its regulatory woes. Expenses from FTC litigation were $26M for the period.
Too many executives view public affairs as a technical task. They think that if their policy is strong, their facts are correct, and their lawyers are ready, the outcome will naturally follow. That’s a dangerous misconception.
