Jonathan Prince, an Obama administration communications official for its Middle East peace efforts, has left for a partner slot at Chlopak, Leonard, Schechter & Associates in D.C.
Prince was Deputy Assistant Secretary of State handling strategic communications and public diplomacy for the Middle East. He was part of Special Envoy George Mitchell’s delegation to the region and his exit comes as the administration has re-engaged in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
In a statement, CLS founder and CEO Bob Chlopak said Prince has handled some of the “world's most challenging issues for more than 20 years and is one of Washington's most skilled, respected and versatile strategists.”
Prince, earlier, was a Clinton White House aide and speechwriter who handled messaging during the NATO campaign in Kosovo, along with other domestic assignments. He also worked the presidential campaigns of Clinton and Sen. John Edwards in ’04 and 2008.
He is a former Brunswick Group hand and was a partner in Isay, Klores, Prince, along with New York PR maven Dan Klores and SKDKnickerbocker founder Josh Isay, which worked on Andrew Cuomo’s aborted 2002 run for New York governor.
