Christine Wilson was sworn in on September 26, 2018 as a Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission. Wilson resigned from the FTC on March 31, 2023, two and a half years before the end of her term. She previously served at the FTC as Chairman Tim Muris’ Chief of Staff, and as a law clerk in the Bureau of Competition. In between her periods of service at the FTC, Wilson has practiced competition and consumer protection law both at law firms and as in-house counsel.  When nominated, Wilson was serving as Senior Vice President – Legal, Regulatory & International for Delta Air Lines. Prior to joining Delta, Wilson was a member of the Washington DC antitrust practice groups of Kirkland & Ellis LLP and O’Melveny & Myers LLP.  Early in her career, Wilson worked with former Assistant Attorney General James F.

Wilson graduated cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center and she graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Florida.
