The White House announced that Camille Johnston is trading in her position as Mrs. Obama’s Communications chief to join Siemens Corporation as a Vice President of Corporate Affairs. She’s the third staffer to resign following former Social Secretary Desiree Rogers and former Chief of Staff Jackie Norris.

Mrs. Obama’s statement:
“Camille has become a trusted advisor to me and to the entire East Wing. From our first day in the White House when we opened the doors and greeted visitors, she has led a communications team that has developed creative and effective strategies for the Let’s Move! campaign, our work on behalf of military families, arts and cultural events in the White House and our international agenda. Her dedication, calming presence and expertise have been invaluable. She will be missed, but we wish her all the best.”

Mrs. Johnston’s statement:
“Being invited by Mrs. Obama to be a part of her East Wing team was a privilege for which I am incredibly grateful. It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve the First Lady and the President and to be a part of this historic Administration.”
