Fired GSA manager lands job with architecture firm

Source: Washington post

Four months after a scandal over meeting expenditures prompted his firing at the General Services Administration, Robert A. Peck has landed a top consultant job for the architecture firm Gensler.

Peck was in his second stint heading the GSA’s Public Buildings Service, which oversees federal real estate, when he was forced out in April following revelations of a four-day 2010 conference costing more than $800,000 that one of his managers held in Las Vegas.

GSA Administrator Martha N. Johnson resigned, and Peck, who attended the conference, was fired.

San Francisco-based Gensler has 43 offices and more than 3,000 employees worldwide. Peck is joining the firm as director of consulting for the southeast region, stretching from Pennsylvania to Florida, and will become one of four global managers of the firm’s growing consulting practice.
