FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz made the announcement Friday, saying Wilson will join FTC from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

“We are pleased to welcome Scott to the FTC. I’m sure that the knowledge and experience he brings will help to ensure that we continue to operate effectively and efficiently to fulfill our mission to protect consumers and foster competition,” Leibowitz said. “The agency is very fortunate to have had the outstanding services of his predecessor, John Seeba, who served as Inspector General since 2008.”
