(AP) — Former Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan has joined a Washington-based firm that provides global consulting services to businesses and nonprofit organizations.

Albright Stonebridge Group said Friday that Carnahan has been hired as a senior director.

She served two terms as Missouri secretary of state, from 2005 until this past January. Before that, Carnahan served as an executive at the Export-Import Bank of the U.S., practiced corporate law and advised businesses on international trade issues.

Albright Stonebridge is led by former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former National Security Adviser Samuel Berger. The business describes itself as a “commercial diplomacy and strategic advisory firm.”

The company’s announcement said Carnahan also is serving this fall as a visiting fellow at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics.
