National Journal's Under the Influence

Movers & Shakers

Fred Humphries, currently a managing director at Microsoft, has been promoted to the company's top lobby slot. He will replace Jack Krumholtz as managing director of federal government affairs. See Microsoft Release.pdf.


Since 2000, Humphries has led Microsoft's state government affairs team and overseen the company's policy outreach to governors, mayors and local elected officials. Humphries is currently based at Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, Wash., but will relocate in January. Fred Humphries

Humphries, a Democrat, does have D.C. experience. He served as a senior policy adviser for Rep. Dick Gephardt from 1992 to 2000 and was chief of staff for Democratic Rep. Sanford Bishop of Georgia. Humphries also served as the southern political director for the Democratic National Committee and as the executive director of public policy for U.S. West Communications in Washington. He also worked on the staff of four presidential campaigns: those of Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson and Doug Wilder. Humphries told National Journal that his experience in Washington, working on federal issues, combined with his skill set and interactions with Krumholtz, and working on state issues makes him a good fit for the position.

Humphries, 47, was born in Pittsburgh and raised in Nashville. He graduated from Morehouse College and Temple University School of Law.

Humphries is looking forward to working with the Obama administration and says his priorities for Microsoft will be expanding broadband, making health care more affordable, opening up new markets, and strengthening the U.S. economy and competitiveness where technology can play a major role.

Microsoft announced Thursday that Krumholtz has decided to leave the company to pursue a new chapter in his career. Krumholtz launched Microsoft's federal government affairs activities in Washington in March 1995 and built the company's lobby shop from the ground up. See our blog entry.

Separately, lobbying sources familiar with the FBI raid say that one area that interests the feds involves campaign contributions from lobbyists to Hill lawmakers, including Murtha. Further, sources say that federal officials were also seeking information about whether lobbyists were reimbursed for their contributions. lace wig

Fred Humphries is a wonderfully gifted negotiator and a natural leader, so this new position as managing director of federal government affairs for Microsoft will suit him perfectly. I heard that Microsoft is working on upgrading the dll file extension to give the Windows platform more stability. This will come as a great help to Humphries whose priorities for Microsoft include strengthening the U.S. economy and competitiveness where technology can play a major role.

When I first saw this I thought it was about Frederick Stephen Humphries, the professor from A&M University, but apparently it isn't. And he's a democrat... I expected him to be independent. I wonder how Microsoft is doing lately where Data Center Security is concerned.

I think that with Fred Humphries in the lead, Microsoft will increase its credibility. My hope is that the new director will take a look at the EzSaver programs in search of improving the employees' life's quality. His priorities prove that he is prepared to give his best shot.
