Nikki Haley joins Edelman as vice chair of EGA division
Nikki Haley, former South Carolina Governor, United Nations ambassador and presidential hopeful, is getting into the communications business, joining the public relations and crisis communications firm Edelman as vice chair of its EGA division, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
EGA is Edelman’s Global Advisory consultancy focused on public and government affairs. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Haley will join another new hire, former Democratic Senator Max Baucus, who also served as President Obama’s ambassador to China. Baucus will be a senior advisor to EGA, and both will join the company later this month.
According to Haley and Edelman CEO Richard Edelman, Haley will be involved in helping companies and brands understand the role politics plays in corporate America, and navigating that world.
“Politics has become a critical consideration for clients in brand marketing, employee engagement and reputation management,” said Edelman. “In her time as Governor, Haley had great success in attracting foreign companies to South Carolina and as Ambassador to the UN, helped lead important work on global issues.”
