John Rizzo, who most recently served as senior spokesman at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, has come on board at Clyde Group as senior VP of public affairs.
At the Treasury Department, Rizzo led public affairs strategy on digital assets, fintech, climate finance, financial stability, domestic finance and economic policy.
