President-elect Barack Obama picked Julius Genachowski, who has links to Ask.com parent IAC/InterActiveCorp and to New Resource Bank, to help him choose people for a new administration in Washington.
The choice convinced some that technology policy and a favorable attitude toward high-tech business could be a big part of Obama’s focus as president.
Genachowski worked for the Federal Communications Commission and had already been giving Obama advice on technology issues during the campaign for the presidency companies making payday loans. The two know each other from Harvard Law School.
Genachowski worked eight years at IAC (NASDAQ: IACI), which now owns Oakland-based search engine Ask.com Inc.
He helped start New Resource Bank — a “green” startup bank in San Francisco — Rock Creek Ventures and also LaunchBox Digital in Washington, D.C.
