Condoleezza Rice responds to our report from yesterday that she's starting a strategic consulting firm with Stephen Hadley, the RiceHadley Group.
In a statement to TPMmuckraker, Rice's chief of staff, Colby Cooper, said:
Condoleezza Rice and Stephen Hadley, along with Anja Manuel, have recently founded a small strategic advisory firm focused on helping U.S. companies doing business abroad -- especially in key emerging markets like China, India, Brazil, the Middle East and others. In addition, Dr. Rice remains on the faculty of Stanford University and the Hoover Institution.PERMALINK | COMMENTS (9) | RECOMMEND RECOMMEND (2)
Two top Bush administration officials whose reputations for strategic acumen were badly damaged by the disasters of the Bush years may be about to market their expertise to private-sector clients.
In September, the RiceHadley Group LLC was registered as a business in California, under a San Francisco address. According to a source, the venture is to be a "strategic consulting" firm, headed by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley, and will be launched imminently.
