The individual who has been serving as the Legal Advisor for wireless, space, and
international issues for FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks has accepted the role of Senior Spectrum Advisor and Director of National Spectrum Strategy.
Who is succeeding Shiva Goel in that key role in Geoffrey Starks‘ office?
Neşe Guendelsberger will serve as Acting Legal Advisor for wireless, space, and international issues. She arrives from the FCC’s Office of International Affairs, where she was Deputy Office Chief, and has previously served in various capacities at the Commission, including Deputy Bureau Chief of the International Bureau, Legal Advisor to former Commissioner Mignon L. Clyburn, and Senior Deputy Bureau Chief of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau.
“I am grateful to Neşe for stepping in to assist my team,” Commissioner Starks said.
“She brings deep knowledge of international spectrum issues, which I got to see
firsthand on the ground at WRC-23 in Dubai. She is a true public servant, and I am
glad to have her counsel.”
Starks said of Goel, “Shiva is a consummate legal advisor – a deep and creative
thinker who threw himself into issues from 6 GHz to ITU Plenipot to FM radio. I will
miss him, but I am glad that he is continuing his career in public service. I benefited
greatly from Shiva’s expertise as my spectrum advisor; it’s only right that he now play
that role for the American public.”
