Emily Horne, who heads global policy communications at Twitter’s DC office, plans to join the Brookings Institution this summer as VP-communications.

She joined Twitter last June after serving on the National Security Council as assistant press secretary and director of strategic communications, where she tackled issues such as counter-terrorism, violent extremism and trade.

Earlier, Horne was at the State Dept., working as communications director for General John Allen, who was special presidential envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL, and press advisor for South and Central Asian Affairs.
