OGR Launches Financial Services Implementation Practice
July 19, 2010
Washington, DC - Ogilvy Government Relations announced today that it will add De’Ana Dow to the firm’s growing financial services and energy practices. Ogilvy Government Relations is one of Washington’s top bipartisan government relations firms.
De’Ana Dow joined the firm on July 19th. Dow has served in senior positions at the CME Group, the world’s largest derivatives exchange, and the New York Mercantile Exchange. Dow began her legal career at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, where she served in a number of capacities over her 22 years, including Counsel to Chairman William Rainer, during the Clinton Administration, and Special Advisor to Chairman James Newsome, during the Bush Administration. Dow began her career on Capitol Hill working for Kentucky Democrat Senator Walter D. Huddleston.
Dow will join former Securities and Exchange Commission counsel, Justin Daly, to spearhead this new practice area. Daly has served in a number of senior government positions, including as chief securities counsel to both the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee. As such, he has been involved in all aspects of major financial services legislation and regulation for more than a decade.
“The financial regulatory reform legislation grants tremendous discretionary authority to the CFTC, SEC, and other financial regulators,” said Ogilvy Government Relations CEO Drew Maloney. “Dow and Daly have the experience and expertise to provide tremendous value to our clients as the regulatory agencies implement the legislation.”
“I am looking forward to working with Ogilvy clients and others to provide strategic and technical advice during the implementation phase of the financial regulatory reform legislation,” said Dow. “The coming months will be very busy as almost every major corporation has a stake in the outcome of the legislation.”
Ogilvy Government Relations is one of the premier bipartisan government relations firms in Washington. The firm is ranked as a “Top 10” government relations firm and was listed as one of the Washington Post’s Top 200 businesses in the metropolitan area.
