WASHINGTON, D.C. — She’s been at the FCC since 1997, and in her time at the Commission oversaw two-thirds of the Commission’s auctions. She served under nine FCC Chairs.
Now, she’s set to retire, and an Acting Deputy Chief in the Office of Economics and Analytics has been named to succeed her.
Exiting the Commission is Margy Wiener.
“It has been a privilege to work with Margy at the FCC. She exemplifies the professionalism and expertise embodied by our staff,” acting FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel said of Wiener. “Margy’s legacy includes the tremendous accomplishments of the FCC auctions program under her leadership, as well as her gifts for teaching and mentoring her staff, her grace under pressure and her constant dedication to public service. We will miss her talent and dedication. I wish her the best in her upcoming — and well-earned — retirement.”
With Wiener’s departure by the end of May, Rosenworcel appointed Deena Shetler as the OEA’s Acting Deputy Chief.
Prior to joining the Office of Economics and Analytics, Shetler served as the FCC’s Deputy Managing Director and has held several leadership roles managing issues including oversight of the Universal Service Administrative Company, implementation of RAY BAUM’S Act, and the agency’s move to its new headquarters.
