Commissioner | Financial Disclosure »
Bio, via White House:
Ms. Wilson is an antitrust and consumer protection practitioner currently serving as Senior Vice President for Regulatory & International Affairs at Delta Air Lines. For over twenty years, Ms. Wilson has been an advocate of the fundamental principle that competition – not regulation – is the best protection for consumers and the strongest prescription for a healthy economy. Before joining Delta, she was a partner at Kirkland & Ellis LLP in Washington, D.C. During the George W. Bush Administration, she served as Chief of Staff to FTC Chairman Timothy J. Muris. Both in government and private practice, she has contributed to the sound development of competition law and policy. She has served in the ABA Antitrust Section Leadership, as an advisor to the U.S. government in connection with the International Competition Network, and as Special Assistant to James F. Rill, Co-Chair of the International Competition Policy Advisory Committee. Ms. Wilson received her J.D. from Georgetown University and her B.A. from the University of Florida. She co-founded The Grapevine, a women’s network for D.C. antitrust and consumer protection professionals. She and her husband live in Virginia and have two daughters.
