Lead speaker
Ms. Julie Brill
Ms. Julie Brill
Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission, United States
Lecturer brief history

Julie Brill was sworn in as a Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission April 6, 2010. Since joining the Commission, Ms. Brill has been working actively on issues of critical importance to today's consumers, including protecting consumers' privacy, encouraging appropriate advertising substantiation, guarding consumers from financial fraud, and maintaining competition in industries involving health care and high-tech.

Commissioner Brill has been named “the Commission's most important voice on Internet privacy and data security issues” and a “key regulator not just on a national, but also on an international, stage” as well as “one of the top minds in online privacy”, one of the top four U.S. government players “leading the data privacy debate”, and a “game-changer”.

Commissioner Brill is an advocate of protecting consumers' privacy, especially with new online and mobile technologies, and supports the creation and implementation of mechanisms to give consumers better information and control over the collection and use of their personal online information. In her speeches, publications and meetings with a wide variety of stakeholders, Commissioner Brill calls on industry and policymakers to improve privacy by developing practical solutions rooted in both consumer protection and competition principles.

Commissioner Brill focuses on the need to improve consumer protection in the financial services arena. She advocates improving regulations and enforcement involving credit reporting, debt collection and in other financial areas. She is particularly interested in combatting frauds targeting consumers caught up in the economic downturn. She strongly supports increased cooperation among the FTC, the CFPB, and the States as they implement the provisions of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Commissioner Brill also advocates for effective antitrust enforcement, especially in the health care and high-tech sectors. She wrote the Commission's unanimous decision in ProMedica, dissolving the merger of two hospitals in Toledo, Ohio. Commissioner Brill's ProMedica decision was recently upheld on appeal by the Sixth Circuit of the United States Circuit Court. Her decisions in high tech competition matters such as Google, Intel, and the proposed mergers of IDT/PLX. Honeywell International Inc./Intermec, Inc., and Nielsen/Arbitron demonstrate smart and effective competition enforcement in the high tech sector.

Commissioner Brill has received numerous national awards for her work, including the International Association of Privacy Professionals Privacy Leader of the Year Award, and the New York University School of Law Alumna of the Year Award. Commissioner Brill was recently elected to the American Law Institute.

Prior to becoming a Commissioner, Ms. Brill was the Senior Deputy Attorney General and Chief of Consumer Protection and Antitrust for the North Carolina Department of Justice.
