Former White House deputy communications director Josh Raffel is joining the e-cigarette company Juul Labs as its vice president of corporate communications.
Why it matters: Raffel is known to have high-level relationships at major print publications and the TV networks, and was the go-to communications official in the White House in moments of crisis, per Axios' Jonathan Swan. He joins Juul as the company attempts to navigate a federal investigation into youth vaping.
