Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Sept. 27, 2016

After more than 11 years with Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Gavin Parke is seizing the future.

Parke, who had served as Reid's counsel and policy adviser since 2011, has taken a position as senior director at CME Group. He originally joined Reid's office as an extern in 2005.

CME Group, owner of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, is the world's second-largest futures exchange company. CME Group has spent more than $1 million on lobbying this year, focusing primarily on derivatives and securities markets and regulatory reforms. 

Parke holds a bachelor's degree in international political economy from Brigham Young University and a JD degree from the University of Nevada.
