Hope Hicks, President Donald Trump's former communications director, has taken a job as chief communications officer for Fox, the company announced Monday.
Hicks, who left the White House in March, has also been named an executive vice president of the new Fox company, which is based in Los Angeles.
Most of 21st Century Fox's entertainment assets are being purchased by Disney, leaving Fox as a streamlined media company that will keep the Fox network, Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network, as well as sports networks and its 28 local TV stations.
Fox also announced that Danny O'Brien, an executive from General Electric Co. and former Senate aid, will serve as executive vice president and head of government relations.
"Hope and Danny are proven leaders and world-class public affairs professionals," said Viet Dinh, the company's chief legal and policy offer. "Together they will define and project FOX’s voice to our relevant communities."
Hicks was one of Trump's most-trusted advisers and helped shape his public image during his 2016 campaign and after he took office.
