The 20-year plus PR pro also worked at Tyco International, Raytheon, Amoco and General Motors.
Meanwhile, Maryanne Giustino O’Dowd, executive VP in the consumer practice, is transitioning to the post of Chicago corporate lead.
Their job, according to North American corporate chief Paul Jensen, is to bring the group's “point of difference – driving one, powerful, enterprise brand voice for clients – to life in the Chicago market.”
