Ogilvy Government Relations is growing its financial services and energy practice by bringing on De’Ana Dow. Dow joins the firm from CME Group. She formerly headed the New York Mercantile Exchange’s government relations operation.

A Democrat, Dow is close to the Congressional Black Caucus and has also worked for Republican Commissioners at the Commodities Future Trading Commission, according to Ogilvy Government Relations’ Drew Maloney. She joins Justin Daly, former Securities and Exchange Commission counsel, in the firm’s expanding practice.

“We believe as much as you can see in the bill that it’s really only just begun and that the implementation of the legislation will largely be shaped through comments and letters from the Hill as we progress,” Maloney said of the financial services regulatory reform bill.
