by Meta’s Priscilla Delgado Argeris, who will be chief legal adviser. Jones is expected to start in mid-April, while Argeris joined the agency Monday. Jones will replace Rosenworcel’s acting Chief of Staff Travis Litman, who's leaving the agency, according to another release. “From the very beginning, Travis has provided sound counsel and leadership and we couldn’t have accomplished so much without his support, knowledge, and guidance,” said Rosenworcel. Jones’ “unique combination of skill, expertise, and record of service will be a major asset for my team and the agency as a whole,” said Rosenworcel in a release. Jones spent over a decade in senior positions in the Wireline and International bureaus and spent years working on Capitol Hill for Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and then as senior technology policy adviser for the Democratic staff for the Commerce Committee. Argeris was a legal adviser to Rosenworcel on wireline and wireless matters when she was still a commissioner, before leaving in 2015 to work for Meta on spectrum policy, the release said. Before joining the FCC in 2012, Argeris was an attorney at Wiley Rein. Litman worked in Rosenworcel’s office for seven years, including as chief of staff when she was a commissioner. He also worked in the Wireline Bureau and at Senate Commerce. The FCC and Litman didn’t comment on his next stop.
