Porter Novelli global director of health Susan Hayes has left the firm for an advance role with President Obama’s re-election campaign.
Hayes, who was at PN from 1996-2002, re-joined the Omnicom firm in 2010 and was named to the global health post in May 2011.
Earlier stints included Cooney Waters Group and Ogilvy PR, in addition to running her own PR consulting shop for eight years.
PN, which works with the Internal Revenue Service and Dept. of Health and Human Services among its government clients, has not yet been reached about a replacement.
Julie Winskie, to whom Hayes reported, left the firm in January.
