Philippe I. Reines (born November 25, 1969) is an American political consultant. He joined the Department of State as a Senior Advisor to Hillary Clinton when she became United States Secretary of State in January 2009, and in 2010 was promoted to the position of Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Strategic Communications.
Reines is currently a Managing Director at Beacon Global Strategies LLC, which he founded with partners Jeremy Bash and Andrew J. Shapiro in 2013.
A New York City native, Reines obtained his Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Political Science from Columbia University's School of General Studies.
Reines was a member of the 2000 Gore-Lieberman presidential campaign's rapid response operation. Reines remained involved in former Vice President Gore's public activities after Gore left office in 2001, going on to serve as Gore's teaching assistant and de facto spokesperson at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, when Gore taught the course "Covering National Affairs in the Information Age," in spring 2001. In December 2002 he contributed material for Gore's appearance on Saturday Night Live.
After the 2000 Presidential election was decided, Reines returned to New York and spent a year as Deputy Communications Director for the New York City Council before joining Speaker Peter Vallone's mayoral bid. He later worked briefly as Communications Director for U.S. Representative Jane Harman (D-CA).
Beginning in July 2002 Reines served as press secretary for Hillary Rodham Clinton, during her term as New York senator. Over the next several years he became an increasingly trusted adviser to Clinton, and a key adviser on Iraq issues.
