Olivia Lapeyrolerie, first deputy press secretary for New York mayor Bill de Blasio, is exiting City Hall for a VP slot at Democratic PR firm SKDKnickerbocker.
She joined de Blasio's team after a stint in Ohio for the Hillary for America presidential campaign and a press job at Barack Obama's Commerce Dept.
Lapeyrolerie also worked on de Blasio's ill-fated run this year for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Her exit follows the departure of de Blasio's press secretary Freddi Goldstein, who announced earlier this month that she was jumping shop.
Goldstein had a four-year run with the mayor, joining his administration from SKDKnick, which is part of Mark Penn's Stagwell Group.
