Ex-chief of staff sees the light at Philips

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on May 22, 2017

Philips, the Dutch lighting, health-care and electronics company, added an ex-chief of staff as federal government director to the company's North America division this month.

Monica Volante worked for former Rep. Joe Pitts (R-Pa.) since graduating from Messiah College in 2001 until Pitts' retirement at the end of last term. She had been his chief of staff since 2015.

Philips has lobbied mainly on health care-related issues so far this year. In addition to its in-house lobbying team, the company also contracts with lobbying firm Clint Hackney and Co.
