She had been running O.T. Solutions, a public policy shop focused on telecommunications, energy and civil rights.
Sean Cassidy, DKC president, said in a statement that Ternes “understands government, public policy and the media, three areas that are at the heart of what we do as a firm.”
Ternes reports to Allison Lee, head of DKC Government Affairs. Lee joined DKC in 2009 and was an original partner of the influential Patricia Lynch Assocs. shop.
Earlier, Lee served as New York and New Jersey representative for former U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Andrew Cuomo, who is now governor of the Empire State.
