Federal Trade Commission Chairman Robert Pitofsky announced late last week that after six years at its helm he plans to leave office by June 1.
Prior to his appointment by President Clinton in April 1995, Pitofsky, a New Jersey native, was a professor of law at Georgetown University Law Center and a legal advisor to a Washington-based law firm.
Earlier he served as both a commissioner and director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection; a professor at New York University School of Law and as a visiting professor of law at Harvard Law School.
A graduate of New York University and Columbia Law School, both in New York, Pitofsky authored legal casebooks on both trade regulation and anti-trust law.
