Riki Parikh, group manager of corporate communications at LinkedIn, has joined Facebook’s policy communications shop.
At LinkedIn for nearly two years, Parikh developed overall strategy to elevate its public policy voice in key global markets.
He joined LinkedIn from the office of Sen. Michael Bennet (C-CO). He handled messaging and communications strategies for Bennet in areas such as artificial intelligence, Internet policy, technology, data/privacy, international trade and immigration policy.
Previously, Parikh was at Cone Communications, advising clients such as Time Warner Cable, FedEx and Hartford Insurance.
In his Facebook post, Parikh will work closely with VP-global affairs & communications Nick Clegg, a former deputy prime minister of the UK and leader of the Liberal Democrats.
Clegg has been dealing with concerns that Facebook will be used as a platform to meddle in the US election and spread misinformation.
He told the Financial Times that Facebook is looking “at some break-glass options available to us if there really is a chaotic election, and worse still, violent set of circumstances.”
Facebook on Oct. 7 said it would ban electoral and political ads in the US after the polls close on Nov. 3 "to reduce opportunities for confusion or abuse.”
Laura Anderson, who rose to VP/GM of global communications and events in a nearly 20 year stint at Intel, will take on the Americas technology chair at Burson following the completion of the BCW and H+K merger on July 1.
WE Communications has partnered with ROKK Solutions to form the WE ROKK AI service.

There are two types of tech PR professionals. Which one are you? And are C-suite executives making that decision for you?
While there’s an impulse to grab reporters’ attention with the newest industry-transforming tech product or service, a back-to-basics approach focused on telling the right stories to the right people is a far more successful way to ensure your technology campaign breaks through the clutter of today’s crowded tech landscape.
