Published On: December 5th, 2009

PfizerChris Christie, governor-elect of New Jersey, said his chief of staff will be Rich Bagger, Pfizer’s SVP of global public affairs. Bagger, 49 years old, previously spent more than a decade in the state Legislature, the the Star-Ledger notes.

Bagger was part of the executive team Pfizer CEO Jeff Kindler put together in 2006; he was previously Pfizer’s SVP for government relations. Lately he’s been serving on Christie’s transition team. He’ll be taking a pay cut in his new job working for Christie, the Star-Ledger notes.

Pfizer is headquartered in New York, but the company just bought Wyeth, whose corporate headquarters are in New Jersey. Pfizer said in October that the former Wyeth headquarters will remain open, housing workers from several businesses including animal health, consumer products and nutrition.
