Under Secretary of Energy Joins Distinguished Technology and Management Experts to Launch New Federal Relations and Strategic Management Consulting Firm |
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Under Secretary of Energy
David K. Garman has joined two of the Department of Energy's most
distinguished and honored Career Senior Executives, Dr. James Decker and
Mr. John Sullivan, to form a new federal relations and management
consulting firm, DECKER GARMAN SULLIVAN, LLC.
These three experts, with 91 years of combined government experience,
blend rich knowledge of science, technology, energy and environment with an
intimate understanding of the federal agencies, the White House, and
Capitol Hill. Their aim is to provide their clients with unparalleled
strategic and government relations guidance.
The Honorable David Garman -- the former Under Secretary of Energy and
former Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy -- is
an internationally known expert in clean energy technology. Since 2001,
Garman has played a leading role in developing and implementing major
Presidential initiatives, including FreedomCAR, the Hydrogen Fuel
Initiative, and the Advanced Energy Initiative. In addition to these
successful efforts, Garman was called upon to represent the United States
Government at key international meetings and negotiations; and to testify
before an unprecedented forty-seven Congressional hearings from 2001-2006.
Before joining the Administration in 2001, Garman honed his highly regarded
political, administrative and legislative abilities in service to two
United States Senators and two Senate Committees during a 21-year career on
Capitol Hill.
"Our goal is simple," Garman said. "We want to put our past experience
to work with innovative companies to shape the future. To that end, there
is no better team I could join than one that includes John Sullivan and Jim
Decker."
Dr. James Decker is internationally recognized for excellence in the
management of scientific research and government laboratories. Dr. Decker
led the Department of Energy's Office of Science, one of the premier
scientific organizations in the world, as its senior career executive for
21 years. In that capacity, he was responsible for research programs
spanning nearly every scientific discipline, 10 federal laboratories and
construction of major scientific facilities.
"We believe we offer our clients something different," said Decker. "We
understand science. We understand technology. We understand Capitol Hill.
We understand Federal Agencies. We can provide our clients with legislative
advice, and we can convey highly technical, scientific information to
Capitol Hill or federal agencies in a way that it can be understood and
acted upon."
Mr. John Sullivan was one of the foremost management innovators in
government service -- a recognized expert in strategic planning, management
innovation, and program management. Like Dr. Decker, John Sullivan is a
recipient of the Presidential Rank Award, the highest award in the Senior
Executive Service.
"Our blend of talent and breadth of perspective makes us different,"
said Sullivan. "Whether you aim to work with top-level officials to shape a
policy, or engage deep in the agencies where policy is implemented, we can
help."
