Elliot is the former chair of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), serving as the agency’s leader in executing its mandate to inform, educate and protect the public from dangerous products. During his tenure, Elliot drove modernization across the agency, installing and enhancing rigorous and consistent decision‐making procedures. He implemented an agencywide renewed focus on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and employee engagement, and he instilled a culture of civility at the commission level, despite its partisan composition. At Cooley, Elliot will utilize his experience at the CPSC to advise and counsel clients on the full life cycle of product-related needs – particularly in the fast-moving applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and tech in everyday consumer goods.
