He was VP-corporate communications at Wyeth until its acquisition by Pfizer in 2009. In that role he served as chief corporate spokesperson, handled all financial and disclosure communications, dealt with product recalls and litigation, and did media relations for Wyeth’s Women’s Health Initiative.
Before joining Wyeth in 1996, Petkus held PR positions at Abbott Laboratories, Schering-Plough and Hill & Knowlton (Procter & Gamble, Kodak, Wendy’s, National Hockey League).
Most recently, he was running Petkus Communications Consultants.
Washington-based Widmeyer chalked up $10.6M in fees last year. That was up 8.4 percent from 2009.
