Anna Perez [3], until recently the National Security Council [4]'s director of communications and Condoleezza Rice [5]'s "counselor of communications," will become NBC's chief communications executive in May. Her resume [6] also includes having served as Barbara Bush's press secretary during the first Bush administration (1989-1993), the Chevron oil company's General Manager of Corporate Communications and Programs (1988), and the Vice-President of California Government Relations for the Walt Disney Company (1995-1988). "I love the television business," Ms. Perez remarked, enthused about her new job. "I have no expertise in it so I will have a bit of a learning curve. But I can't remember the last time I didn't have a learning curve when I took a new job."
