Former Gov. Tom Wolf staffer Rob Ghormoz has joined Harrisburg-based law firm Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney as principal in its Government Relations Group.
Ghormoz previously served the Wolf administration as deputy chief of staff to the governor and secretary of intergovernmental affairs. He most recently acted as senior advisor to Gov. Wolf, in which he served as the governor’s primary political and policy advisor.
He advised on environmental and energy policy, oversaw all aspects of economic development for the Wolf administration and coordinated all economic development related grant programs in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.
“It’s always great to start the new year with the addition of a new team member, and we could not be more excited to welcome Rob to our firm. Given that a number of our clients are focused on economic development at this time, having Rob’s perspective, insight and guidance will be invaluable,” said Robert Shuster, co-chair of Buchanan’s State and Federal Government Relations group.
Along with his experience within the Wolf administration, Ghormoz is well-respected on both sides of the political aisle and on both the state and federal levels, said Leslie Gromis Baker, co-chair and managing director of Buchanan’s State and Federal Government Relations group.
“Over the years, I’ve interacted with Buchanan government relations professionals and have always been impressed by their professionalism and collaborative nature. I’m thrilled to join this esteemed team and see what successes we can accomplish together on behalf of our clients,” said Ghormoz.
