Geithner Aide Goes To Lobby

By Sara Jerome

Damon Munchus, a former top official in the Treasury Department, is headed to Cypress Group, a financial services lobbying and consulting firm based in Washington.

Munchus served as Treasury's deputy assistant secretary for banking and finance in its office of legislative affairs. He is now tasked with opening Cypress's New York office, claiming the managing director spot.

Cypress Group boasts that grabbing Munchus means it "now employs former senior-level advisers to the past three secretaries of the Treasury as well as Secretary Geithner."

At Treasury, Munchus was a liaison between Treasury and Congress. Before that, he was a member of President Obama's FDIC Review Transition Team, a vice president at Jefferies and Co., a securities and investment banking group, and an analyst at Fannie Mae.
