"It will truly be an honor to continue to shape Dr. Rice's brand as well as to support the new and ongoing endeavors in her life," she said in a statement.
Godfrey, who worked in the White House press office from 2000-05 and later moved to the Commerce Dept. before returning Pennsylvania Avenue as a senior press advance representative, is relocating to Palo Alto, Calif., for the position.
She also was a strategist for PR firm Outside Eyes and set up Trailblazer when Bush left office.
Rice largely remained out of the spotlight since the Bush administration left office with her as Secretary of State in 2008, but she released an autobiographical memoir in October 2010 and is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford, where she was on the faculty during the 1980s and ‘90s.
She is also booking speaking engagements and will be an early guest with Piers Morgan, who takes over Larry King’s CNN slot on Jan. 17.
