David Marchick (born 1966) is an American lawyer and former Deputy United States Assistant Secretary of State who served in the Clinton Administration. As Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Marchick was the chief U.S. negotiator for open skies, an international policy concept calling for liberalization of international commercial aviation industry rules and regulations.

After working as Vice President of Development for the online auction business Bid4Assets, Marchick joined Washington, D.C. based international law firm Covington & Burling in March 2002 as special counsel on international transportation and trade issues.

In October 2007, Marchick joined The Carlyle Group, a Washington, D.C. based asset management firm. Marchick was brought into The Carlyle Group as that company's first in-house lobbyist.

Early life[edit]

Marchick was born in 1967 in Orinda, California[1] and attended the University of California, San Diego, graduating in 1988.[2] While at UC San Diego, Marchick was the student body president.[2] Marchick later earned a master's degree in public policy at the LBJ School of Public Policy at the University of Texas in Austin, and a juris doctorate at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.[1]

Career[edit]

1990s[edit]

In 1991, Marchick served as a policy analyst in the International Business and Economics program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a bipartisan Washington, D.C., foreign policy think tank.[3] Two years later, Marchick became the deputy director of presidential correspondence for the then newly elected U.S. President Bill Clinton.[4] In May 1996, Marchick transitioned from being an aide to United States Secretary of Commerce Mickey Kantor to being deputy assistant secretary for trade development.[5][6] As deputy assistant secretary, Marchick traveled to Japan to monitor progress related to a 1995 bilateral agreement on auto and auto parts between the United States and Japan.[7]

In June 1997, Marchick worked to open the Southeast Asian car market to US exports.[8] Marchick's goal was to encourage members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to adopt an open regional approach to selecting suppliers that would conform with World Trade Organization guidelines and allow for economies of scale.[8]

By January 1998, Marchick had been promoted to Deputy United States Assistant Secretary of State.[9][10] In September of that year, Marchick began to work on transportation issues, starting negotiations with Britain on an air transportation trade agreement.[11] A month later, after talks had been broken off with Britain, Marchick successfully negotiated a similar agreement with Italy.[12][13]

Between November and December 1998, Marchick, along with U.S. ambassador to China Jim Sasser, successfully moved China towards increasing air passenger and cargo services between the United States and China.[14][15]

In March 1999, Marchick was promoted from Deputy Assistant Secretary for Air Transportation at the U.S. Department of State to Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Affairs.[16] Later that year, Marchick and another U.S. delegation leader, Paul Gretch, were successful in obtaining a U.S.-Argentina open skies accord.[17]

In October 1999, Marchick announced that he was leaving the U.S. State Department to join the newly formed Bid4Assets, the first real estate Internet auction website to operate in the United States.[18][19][20][21]

2000s[edit]

After Marchick became Vice President of Development,[21] Bid4Assets began selling assets of bankrupt companies online in November 1999,[22] including domain names of failed dot-com companies to unpaid debt to tangible assets like buildings and art, as well as assets seized by the U.S. federal government.[21] In August 2001, Marchick, along with Bill O'Leary and Phil Fuster, secured $4 million in funding from Hartford Financial Services Group for the Bid4Assets business.[23] On December 27th of that year, Marchick and several other inventors filed a U.S. patent application for a system for auctioning bankruptcy assets.[24] The application issued into a U.S. patent approximately five years later.[24]

In March 2002, Marchick joined Covington & Burling, an international law firm.[25] At Covington, Marchick began work as special counsel on international transportation and trade issues.[25] In September 2003, Covington formed a business alliance with Kissinger Associates.[26] In 2006, Marchick co-authored the book, U.S. National Security and Foreign Direct Investment,[27] and focused his law practice on representing companies, such as IBM,[28] seeking approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), an inter-agency committee of the United States Government that reviews the national security implications of foreign investments in U.S. companies or operations.[29]

By July 2007, Marchick was vice chair of Covington & Burling's international practice and a senior adviser to Kissinger Associates.[30][31] Four months later, on October 22, Marchick joined The Carlyle Group, a Washington, D.C. based global asset management firm specializing in private equity.[31] In doing so, Marchick became that company's first in-house lobbyist and was given a position of managing director of Carlyle's regulatory division.[31][32] As a managing director, Marchick was responsible to Carlyle's co-founders for regulatory issues in the twenty one countries in which Carlyle operated.[31][32] By June 2011, Marchick, Head of Global External Affairs and overseer of the firm's regulatory and communications strategy, was part of Carlyle's Operating Committee that works as a day-to-day body to provide strategic direction to Carlyle's founders.[33]
