Starks

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Commissioner GEOFFREY STARKS has announced changes to his staff, with Wireline Competition Bureau Associate Bureau Chief JUSTIN FAULB named Wireline and National Security Advisor, replacing DIANE HOLLAND, who moves to the Wireline Competition Bureau as Deputy Bureau Chief, while Special Advisor Dr. ALISA VALENTIN exits to move to the nonprofit sector and MORGAN BODENARAIN, formerly an aide to Rep. G.K. BUTTERFIELD, is joining STARKS' staff as Legal Advisor.

STARKS said, “I’m thrilled to have JUSTIN join my team. He is one of the Commission’s leading experts on supply chain security. His knowledge and experience on wireline issues will be an invaluable asset as I work toward securing our communications networks, increasing deployment, and achieving digital equity.

“DIANE brought to my office a depth of knowledge and experience that will be hard to replace. True to her reputation, she is a bright, hardworking, and dedicated public servant. Fortunately DIANE is not going far, and Ilook forward to continuing to work with her in her new role.

“I’m excited for MORGAN to bring her CAPITOL HILL experience in telecom and broadband equity policy to the office. In particular, she has explored how the lack of adequate broadband resources in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated many issues that communities of color face in AMERICA. I look forward to MORGAN’s contributions as we work to connect all Americans.
