A few interesting K Street moves in the financial services industry came my way today.
First, a Republican who landed a new lobbying job: David Landers joins the Managed Funds Association as vice president where he'll be assisting in the development of the group's political and advocacy outreach. Landers was previously at Credit Suisse, where he was director for external affairs and public policy, and before that he worked at MetLife and Williams & Jensen. He also worked on Capitol Hill as chief counsel for the Senate District of Columbia appropriations subcommittee and for former Sen. Lauch Faircloth, R-N.C.
And a Democrat who landed a new lobbying job: Marti Thomas joins the Duberstein Group as a vice president, coming from Goldman Sachs, where she was also a vice president. Goldman Sachs has long been a client of Duberstein's and Thomas will continue to represent the financial services company.
Prior to Duberstein, Thomas held positions at the Treasury Deparment in the Clinton administation, was a principal at Quinn Gillespie & Associates, and was an executive floor assistant for then-House Democratic leader Richard Gephardt, D-Mo.
