FCC's Grimaldi Joins Pandora

Dave Grimaldi, former chief of staff to Federal Communications Commissioner Mignon Clyburn and senior legal advisor to acting FCC Chairwoman Clyburn, has joined Pandora as director of public affairs.

Pandora is an online personalized radio service that launched in 2000. It now boasts hundreds of thousands of titles and tens of millions of listeners monthly. Grimaldi had been chief of staff since 2010, as well as media legal advisor.

He was succeeded last November by Adonis Hoffman. Before joining the FCC, Grimaldi had been senior counsel to house Majority Whip James Clyburn (Mignon Clyburn's father), specializing in telecom and technology, among other things. He was also former legislative counsel to Rep Ed Towns (D-NY).
