Mark Irion, the head of Dutko Worldwide lobbying/PA firm, has assumed the co-head of Grayling’s global PA and government relations unit. He shares management duties with Stephen Lock, Grayling’s regional director of the Eurasia region.
U.K.-based Huntsworth acquired Dutko last year in a $33.6M deal with the idea of expanding its D.C. presence and international presence. Grayling, in March, revamped operations, setting up international practice heads to key markets to provide more of an “international mindset.”
Irion’s job is to marry Dutko’s government relations, government markets, research and risk management consulting with Grayling’s PR and PA expertise.
Dutko and Grayling have 70 offices in 40 countries.
