Boeing has brought three new executives into its government affairs shop based in Rosslyn, Va. David Morrison, who is joining the aerospace company as vice president of government operations, will serve as the chief lobbyist covering all appropriations and authorizations matters. Sean McCormack will take on the role of vice president of communications, and Brigadier General Leo Brooks, Jr., has been tapped as vice president of national security and space. Morrison and Brooks, whose positions are new, will report to Tim Keating, senior vice president of government operations. The company is moving Phil Ruter, who is currently vice president of legislative affairs, into a new position as chief of staff for Keating.
Morrison, 51, recently worked for the Podesta Group and has served as staff director for the House Appropriations Committee's Defense Subcommittee and deputy associate director for national security at the Office of Management and Budget. McCormack, 44, recently served as assistant secretary for public affairs at the State Department, reporting to former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Under the Bush Administration, McCormack also served as deputy White House press secretary and National Security Council spokesman. Brooks, 51, becomes Boeing's senior corporate liaison with the Pentagon, NASA, and the Department of Homeland Security.
