Ex-Senate staff director heads to Facebook AR/VR team

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Sept. 29, 2020

Facebook's augmented reality/virtual reality team has gotten a makeover, picking up both a new name and a former Senate staff director.

Derron Parks is now public-policy manager to Facebook Reality Labs, which the tech behemoth rebranded in late August.

(Confusingly, Facebook renamed its former Oculus Research division to Facebook Reality Labs in 2018. The new Facebook Reality Labs now encompasses the company's entire AR/VR team and now includes Facebook's Oculus, which makes VR headsets.)

Parks comes from Federal Street Strategies, where he was a senior strategist. The Georgetown Law grad previously served as Democratic staff director to Sen. Claire McCaskill's (D-Mo.) Special Committee on Aging and has also worked for the senator's personal office.

Parks has also held gigs with Samsung Electronics and DaVita, a kidney dialysis company. He registered as a lobbyist for both.

Subjects: Georgetown University Law Center; Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO); Senate Special Committee on Aging; DaVita Inc.; ​Samsung Electronics America Inc.; Federal Street Strategies LLC; Meta Platforms Inc.; Derron Reynard Parks
