A GOP staffer has moved from the Hill to a D.C.-area behemoth.

Toby Marvel joined Booz Allen this month as a defense congressional analyst. The consulting and management firm, which brought in $6.7 billion in revenue last year, lobbies Congress on defense, intelligence and natural resources.

The Indiana native comes from the office of Rep. Jim Baird (R-Ind.), where he was a legislative assistant. He previously worked for Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio).

Kelsey Moran, former chief of staff to Rep. Lois Frankel (D-Fla.) is re-engineering her career with a shift to the private sector. 

Moran started this month as a senior manager of government affiars for Autodesk, which produces engineering and design software. Autodesk has lobbied Congress both directly and through coalitions including the Software Finance and Tax Executives Council and Vertical Infrastructure Coalition. The company, which had more than 10,000 employees and projected revenue of $3.27 billion in fiscal year 2020, has advocated on a wide range of issues including cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, access to overseas markets, infrastructure design, workforce development and manufacturing. 

Moran started her Hill career as a staff assistant with Rep. Steve Rothman (D-N.J.) and then continued working her way up the ranks with Frankel, serving as the chief of staff starting in December 2017. 

Moran's departure set off a series of internal promotions in Frankel's office. Josh Cohen is now chief of staff, and Bradley Solyan was promoted from senior legislative assistant to legislative director. 

Andrew Okuyiga, Moran's husband, works as a public policy manager as Amazon. 

A former legislative director is back on the Hill with the same title and a new boss.

Greg Adams recently joined the office of Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) after 13 years away from Congress. He's spent most of that time at Oxfam America, where he was a director of aid effectiveness, in addition to earning a master's degree from the Harvard Kennedy School.

Before he left the House in 2007, he worked for ex-Reps. Diane Watson (D-Calif.) and Rod Blagojevich (D-Ill.).
