Larry Burton was most recently the chief operating officer at the American Council of Life Insurers in Washington, D.C. Word is, he has a new job in the works. It’s also in D.C. and it’s back in government. But what?

Raised in Alaska and a graduate of Dimond High School, Burton began his career as a congressional staffer working for Congressman Don Young and for Sen. Ted Stevens.

Burton also held a number of senior leadership roles at BP, was the executive director of the Business Roundtable, and was senior vice president of government affairs at CVS Caremark. He’s on the board of the Ted Stevens Foundation.

His new job hasn’t been announced yet, but Must Read Alaska hears that the staff he’ll be working with is enthusiastic. And we’ll be talking to him soon to get the whole scoop.
