Grayson Parker (born 12 May 1968) is a Zamastanian businessman and executive who served as the Secretary of Commerce of Zamastan under President Sabine Armitage from 22 September 2022 to 16 January 2023. Parker was the CEO of Karrige Company, a multinational food manufacturing corporation, from 1999-2021 before he was slated to head the Department of Commerce. He also served as an economic advisor to Presidents Cassious Castovia and Foley Sakzi. He was fired by president Armitage, along with several members of the administration, in the wake of the SanCorp scandal during which Parker, SanCorp executive Darren Hunderson, and Secretary of Energy Ian Woodward engaged in backroom deals with Yuanese business tycoon Li Feng to push policies which would have financially benefited the company and Yuanese government interests in securing construction and mining leases on Zamastanian public land. Since leaving the administration, Parker has been mired in litigation off charges from the Justice Department stemming from his role in the scandal.
