Deborah Platt Majoras is the former chair of the Federal Trade Commission, appointed May 11, 2004, by President George W. Bush and sworn in on August 16, 2004.

[2] Majoras filled the FTC vacancy created by Timothy Muris, who announced May 11, 2004 that he would step down to become a law professor at George Mason University.

In early 2008, she announced that she was leaving the FTC to become senior vice president and general counsel for Procter & Gamble, the largest consumer products company in the United States.

[8] Majoras' tenure as FTC Chairperson was marked by the commission's strong efforts to protect and enhance consumer welfare.

She focused on ensuring data security and protecting consumers from emerging frauds, such as identity theft, spyware and deceptive spam.

[9] On December 17, the FTC rebuffed the recusal, with Majoras stating that she did not have a conflict of interest as her husband no longer owned equity in the firm.
