Gabrielle Bertin is a press aide for Conservative Party leader David Cameron.[1] From mid-November 2012 she will be on maternity leave, replaced by another Conservative Party special adviser, Susie Squire.

Bertin is known as a well trusted and long standing adviser, according to PRWeek, which cited one source recently claiming the ‘hole she will create is impossible to fill'.

Background

Bertin previously worked in the House of Commons for Liam Fox MP on the atlanticist think tank Atlantic Bridge. Her salary was paid for by Pfizer.

From the House of Commons register of interests in 2007:

"I work exclusively for the Atlantic Bridge, a UK-American think-tank of which my sponsor, Dr Liam Fox, is a founder member. In this role I receive funding from Pfizer Inc. I have no function in any health role (Dr Fox is Shadow Secretary of State for Health). I also do occasional work from home for Parker, Poe, Adams & Bernstein (an American law firm based in North Carolina)." [2]
