Wireline Bureau's Gelb Named Deputy Chief of Enforcement Bureau

Lisa Gelb is moving from the FCC Wireline Bureau to become a deputy chief and chief of staff of the Enforcement Bureau, Enforcement Bureau Chief Travis LeBlanc said in a news release Monday. Gelb’s new responsibilities include ensuring compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, LeBlanc said. Gelb’s “depth of knowledge about communications law, particularly in the areas of wireline telephone and broadband, her understanding of the Commission, her extensive management experience, and her good judgment are invaluable in managing the bureau’s workload,” LeBlanc said. She's a former deputy city attorney in San Francisco who joined the Wireline Bureau in 2004.
