Elizabeth Alexander, who exited as Vice President Joe Biden's press secretary in 2011 to practice law, has returned to the PR game with FTI Consulting in the capital.

Alexander was on Biden's press detail during his senate days starting in 2006 and continuing on through his election with President Barack Obama in 2008 as well as through her graduation from Georgetown Law School.

At FTI, she takes a managing director, strategic communications, slot in Washington after serving as a federal prosecutor with the U.S. Dept. of Justice, where she both prosecuted cases and advised on planning and media relations.

FTI's Washington PR/PA operation includes former Clinton White House aide Jackson Dunn, ex-press secretary to Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) Brian Kennedy, and Edelman alum Bob Knott, all senior managing directors. The firm boosted its D.C. profile in March with the acquisition of lobbying shop C2 Group.

Alexander's husband, David Wade, is chief of staff to Secretary of State John Kerry.
