Freddie Mac, a $32.6 billion government sponsored mortgage finance company based in McLean, Va., hired Timothy Bitsberger as treasurer and senior vice president for funding and investor relations. He succeeds Jerome Lienhard, who left to join MBNA Corp. Bitsberger, 46, most recently was assistant secretary for financial markets at the U.S. Treasury and earlier was deputy assistant secretary for federal finance. Bitsberger spent more than 15 years on Wall Street, where his last position was senior vice president of investments at Salomon Smith Barney.

Verizon Communications Inc., the $71.2 billion telecom company based in New York City, appointed its treasurer, Thomas Bartlett, as controller and senior vice president and said Cathie Webster will succeed Bartlett as treasurer and senior vice president.

Earlier, he was CEO and president of Bell Atlantic’s international wireless operation and CEO of Grupo Iusacell, a Mexican telecom.
