Campanelli serves as global security company Lockheed Martin’s Director of Government Relations for Health and Human Services, focusing on health and health IT. He has also served in senior healthcare leadership and policy positions as counselor to the secretary for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and as director of the Office for Civil Rights at HHS, according to Lockheed Martin, of Bethesda, Md.
