New Communications Staff Join Carnegie EndowmentKaren Jacob, former director of communications at Meridian International Center, and Scott Nathanson, former executive director of Citizens for a Responsible Budget, have joined the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace as communications managers. They serve as the primary institutional contacts for policymakers, media, and other external audiences. "Karen and Scott bring significant background working with our key audiences-policymakers on the Hill, the international affairs community, and the media," said Carmen MacDougall, vice president for communications. "We are fortunate to have their experience to build understanding and awareness of Carnegie's work."
Karen Jacob will work primarily with the Russian and Eurasian and China Programs at the Carnegie Endowment. At Meridian International Center, she was responsible for increasing visibility through a new branding campaign as well as press and public outreach activities. She spent six years at Meridian in positions of growing responsibility, including director of World Affairs Programs and director of strategic development. A graduate of Middlebury College, Jacob also worked with the Salzburg Seminar in Vermont and Austria on its international conference activities.
Scott Nathanson brings nearly
ten years of experience with NGOs in Washington and will support the Global
Policy Program, on issues ranging from non-proliferation to democracy development
to international trade. Before joining Carnegie, he developed a novel concept
to combine international education and mainstream entertainment-an action video
game titled "Landmine Larry." Earlier, he served as executive director
for Citizens for a Responsible Budget and served in senior capacities for a
range of organizations dealing with arms control and peace issues, including
Demilitarization for Democracy and Peace Action Education Fund.
