Brad Berry is now Senior Advisor to the FCC for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and Deena Shetler is now Deputy Chief of Staff for Administration. Berry will coordinate the agency’s anti-digital discrimination efforts, working in partnership with the Task Force to Prevent Digital Discrimination, which is led by D’wana Terry and Sanford Williams, Special Advisors to the Chairwoman, and Alejandro Roark, Chief of the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau.
“This work touches almost every part of the agency, and I am pleased we have a dedicated team to work on these important issues. We can’t connect everyone, everywhere if we are not honest about the barriers many face to access modern day communications and what we can do to prevent such circumstances,” said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel.
Berry was Deputy Chief of the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau from 1999 to 2002, and directed many of the bureau’s early local competition and consumer protection investigations. More recently, he was General Counsel at the NAACP and Vice President at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, two civil rights organizations.
Shetler will focus on administrative matters for the Commission. She was most recently Deputy Chief of the Office of Economics and Analytics and before that was Deputy Managing Director. Previously, Shetler held several leadership roles in the Wireline Competition Bureau, including Associate Bureau Chief and Deputy Chief of the Pricing Policy Division. Prior to that, she was a Legal Advisor to Commissioner Gloria Tristani.
