Michael Robinson, who handled financial/crisis PR at Levick during a nine-year span, has moved to Omnicom’s Chlopak Leonard Schechter & Assocs. The 30-year PR veteran takes the partner slot.
Bob Chlopak, CEO of CLS&A, said Robinson's background is an important addition to the firm due to ongoing implementation of Dodd-Frank and the shifting regulatory landscape triggered by the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
At Levick, Robinson counseled AIG, World Bank, Dubai's stock exchange and the World Bank.
Earlier, he was chief spokesperson for then Securities and Exchange Commission chief Harvey Pitt, handling issues connected to Sarbanes-Oxley and Enron/WorldCom collapses.
Robinson was director of communications at Freddie Mac, VP-corporate communications at investment banker Friedman Billings Ramsey, senior media advisor for global PA at Mobil and spokesperson at the Justice Dept.
He began his career at the New York Times.
