The next chapter in the career of Police Commissioner Ray Kelly could be a job with Henry Kissinger.
Kelly, an expert on international terrorism, will soon be replaced by Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio, and no one knows what he’ll do next.
But Kelly was spotted on Monday paying a visit to Kissinger at the former Secretary of State’s apartment at River House on East 52nd Street.
Kelly could be a good fit for Kissinger Associates, the secretive international consulting firm Kissinger founded in 1982 with Brent Scowcroft. Cybersecurity and assessing terrorist threats are a big part of the firm’s business.
Kelly was feted later Monday evening a few blocks away, at the maisonette of Tina Brown — who threw a seated dinner for the former Marine, his wife Veronica and his son Greg, the “Good Day, New York” host.
Among those who thanked Kelly for his service to the city were CNN boss Jeff Zucker, former schools chancellor Joel Klein, “Nightline” co-anchor Cynthia McFadden, financier Don Marron and Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen with Pat Duff.
