Who Is Jeff Raleigh?
Jeff Raleigh can say with a high degree of certainty that he is the only
man alive who has been a butler for the Honcho of Hedonism, Hugh
Hefner, and senior counselor to two Sultans of Sharia, the presidents
of Islamic Republics of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, and Pakistan,
Pervez Musharraf.
He is also a former top level US diplomat, a 30 year veteran of the
public relations industry, a former Army intelligence operative, an
expert in mid-east and south Asia politics and communications and a
sought after commentator on current events.
Raleigh was the senior communications counsel to the US Mission to
Afghanistan in 2004-5, the senior communications counselor to
Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf in 2005-6, the head of a counter
narcotics program in Afghanistan in 2007-9 and a strategic
engagement consultant with the DoD in 2009-10.
Prior to that spate of work, Raleigh was a 25 year executive with one
of the world’s largest Public Relations firms, Hill & Knowlton, managing
its flagship New York office and heading up its Global Client service
portfolio. He has represented a number of Fortune 500 companies as
well as a gold mine in Guyana, the inventor of a silicon brain, which
ended up having the same power as Charlie Sheen’s, and two
gentlemen who were convinced they had found a methods to turn base
metals into gold. ( In case you’re wondering, they hadn’t.)
He now owns his own communications consultancy, Raleigh Strategic
Engagement.
