Last June, Boeing’s top lobbyist Tim Keating abruptly left the company, followed weeks later by Jeff Shockey, who is now the top lobbyist for rival Raytheon Technologies. Cameron is the latest in a series of departures by senior staff in the D.C. Ojakli added on a personal note that he was “enormously appreciative of the advice, candor, and friendship Art has extended to me over the past five months” as he began his role within the aerospace giant. “In his time here, Art has managed winning advocacy campaigns, captured billions in appropriations for BDS programs, and steered legislative strategy during some of the Company’s most challenging periods,” executive vice president of government operations Ziad Ojakli wrote in an email to employees announcing Cameron’s departure.
Cameron joined Boeing in 2011 after serving as staff director for the Senate Appropriations Committee’s subcommittee on commerce, justice and science, and lobbied on Boeing’s NASA and appropriations profiles before being named to his most recent role. BOEING DEPARTURE LOUNGE: Art Cameron, Boeing’s vice president of federal legislative affairs, is leaving the company after more than a decade in the government operations shop, according to an internal announcement obtained by PI.
