The Army veteran, who rose to the rank of Captain, served as battalion intelligence officer and company commander. He continues to serve in the Reserve as an Apache helicopter aviation officer.
Sydnor, who was an assistant DA in Raleigh before joining the military, moved to Capitol Hill in 2011.
Prior to working as Burr's military legislative assistant, Sydnor was a staffer for Sen. John Boozman (R-AR) and Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC).
Cassidy CEO Kai Anderson said Sydnor's legal background, defense policy expertise and Army/National Guard experience will help develop effective strategies and deliver results for clients.
Barry Rhoads, Cassidy chairman, former Army officer who served as war crimes prosecutor during the first Gulf War and deputy general counsel for the Dept. of Defense Base Realignment & Closure Commission, is responsible for the Interpublic unit's defense business.
