Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has joined global communications firm Edelman as vice chair of the firm’s international public affairs team, the company announced Wednesday.
Edelman CEO Richard Edelman in an announcement pointed to Haley’s experience as the former United Nations ambassador and two terms as governor of South Carolina.
“Politics has become a critical consideration for clients in brand marketing, employee engagement and reputation management,” he said. “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.”
Haley said she is “excited” to join the team within Edelman’s Global Advisory (EGA), the firm’s global public affairs consultancy.
“In a time of growing complexities in business, policy, and politics — brands need to anticipate what’s coming next. Whether managing a crisis or celebrating a success, industry leaders must be ready to communicate clearly and share their vision forward,” she wrote in the statement.
Haley is expected to join the firm this month.
