Hill & Knowlton has tapped Duncan Burns as its first global energy practice director as power consumption is slated to rise nearly 50 percent by 2030.
He is to concentrate on traditional oil/gas/coal sources, alternatives, clean tech and manufacturing, according to a statement from Ken Luce, COO of the WPP operation.
Burns, a senior VP in H&K’s Washington office, also worked in London during the past decade. He handles accounts such as Better Place (charging infrastructure for electric cars), Clean and Safe Energy Coalition and Qualcomm.
