Republican roots
A biographical note states that Fuller worked "for eight years in the White House as assistant to President Reagan for cabinet affairs and then as chief of staff to Vice President George H.W. Bush. He later served as co-director of President-elect Bush's transition team." "Upon leaving the White House, Fuller joined The Wexler Group, later acquired by Hill & Knowlton, where he served as president of its U.S. operations and head of worldwide public affairs," it states.

Working for Phillip Morris
In 1992 Fuller was appointed as Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs at Philip Morris (PM).

Using his knowledge of how government agencies and processes work, Fuller described to the PM Board of Directors a strategy to "slow down the [1992] environmental tobacco smoke risk assessment of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency," a formalized description of the health effects of exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke. In his capacity as VP of Corporate Affairs at PM, Craig Fuller was also kept apprised of the activities of the National Smokers Alliance, a "smokers rights" group clandestinely organized and funded by PM. 

Life after PM
A biographical note states that after leaving PM Fuller "led the board of directors practice at Korn/Ferry International and served as vice chairman of Burson-Marsteller."
