Former Chief of Protocol of the United States Capricia Penavic Marshall has joined FGS Global as a partner, based in DC.
Marshall also served as deputy assistant to the president and White House social secretary under President Bill Clinton and special assistant to then-first lady of the United States Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Most recently, she was president, CEO and founder of CPM Global Engagement Strategies, working with clients in sectors including healthcare, consumer products and financial services.
She is also ambassador-in-residence at the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center at the Atlantic Council, where she works with the CEO and executive leadership to promote the organization’s goals and to broaden its reach and influence.
“Capricia’s exceptional understanding of foreign policy and decades as a strategic advisor at the pinnacle of the public and private spheres are without equal,” said FGS partner and co-chairman of North America Mike Feldman. “Her insights will be invaluable to clients as they navigate today’s complex geopolitical landscapes, and her influence in cultural diplomacy cannot be overstated.”
