Hill+Knowlton Strategies has recruited Monica Bouldin, who has more than two decades of PR experience, to oversee its Los Angeles and Irvine offices.
Bill Coletti, global crisis co-chair, has had oversight of those southern California outposts.
Bouldin will take the general manager slot at the WPP unit on Sept. 25.
Most recently, she was Edelman Los Angeles’ executive vice president for consumer and multicultural marketing.
Earlier, Bouldin was senior VP/consumer marketing at Ogilvy PR Worldwide and VP/consumer, entertainment, technology at Ruder Finn.
Her PR career began on the staffs of Warner Bros. consumer products at Fox Broadcasting.
Andy Weitz, H&K USA CEO, predicts Bouldin's "background and presence will be an exciting and energizing addition to the offices."
