AT&T Names Sudbury Resident as Regional Vice President

Brooke Thomson has had an impressive career.

The Sudbury resident spent six years in the Massachusetts Attorney General’s office, where she served as Chief of the Business, Technology and Economic Development Division. During her time working as a business liaison to the Attorney General’s Office, she was able to work on a variety of issues including telecommunications issues.  Prior to that, she worked as legal counsel to the Massachusetts Legislature’s Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy, where she was able to assist the Committee in drafting major statewide energy legislation entitled the Green Communities Act, in 2007.

Now, Thomson can add the title of vice president to her resume.
