Hi --

I wanted to reach out to make sure you saw the news that Bruce Andrews, former Deputy Secretary of Commerce, has joined Rock Creek Global Advisors as a Managing Director. The formal press release can be found here (http://www.rockcreekadvisors.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/RCGA-Andrews-Press-Release.pdf) .

Bruce is an incredibly smart policy strategist, and really one of the good guys in DC. He'll do a terrific job helping Rock Creek's clients navigate today's ever-changing political and economic environments, both in the US and abroad. And he's joining a great team, including Dan Price, Clay Lowery, Michael Smart, and Jean-David Levitte.

I'm not alone in this line of thinking, either. I've included quotes below from former Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, IBM's Christopher Padilla, and Facebook's Joel Kaplan that outline Bruce's impressive knowledge and experience when it comes to being a leader in handling complex public policy issues.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like for me to put you in touch with Rock Creek's founder Daniel Price or with Bruce himself to learn more.

Thanks,
t
Penny Pritzker, Former Secretary of Commerce
"Bruce is a fantastic addition to Rock Creek Global Advisors," said former Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker. "He is one of Washington’s premiere strategists with a keen understanding of global economics and trade, and how Washington works. He was a critical player in the Obama Administration's digital economy, data, trade and investment and competitiveness policy initiatives during his tenure at the Department of Commerce and an absolutely integral member of our team."

Christopher Padilla, Vice President of Government and Regulatory Affairs for IBM
"Bruce is a recognized leader in handling the complex issues of the global digital economy," said Christopher Padilla, Vice President of Government and Regulatory Affairs for IBM and former Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade for President George W. Bush. "His leadership in negotiating the EU-US Privacy Shield, in working with China on digital market access issues, and in developing cyber security policy will bring added strength to the great team at Rock Creek."

Joel Kaplan, Vice President for Global Public Policy for Facebook
"Bruce is incredibly well-suited to helping leaders navigate the challenges currently facing global businesses," said Joel Kaplan, Vice President for Global Public Policy for Facebook and former Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy for President George W. Bush. "Having worked with him on a variety of thorny policy issues and given his track record of success in both the public and private sectors, I know Bruce will be a huge asset to Rock Creek Global Advisors’ clients."
