Bethany Sherman

Bethany Sherman, who was chief communications officer at Dow Jones & Co., has joined Brunswick Group in New York to advise corporate clients and deal with issues management.

She had been in charge of global PR for Dow Jones (now News Corp.) properties such as the Wall Street JournalBarron’s and Dow Jones Newswires.

Earlier, Sherman held the senior VP-corporate communications slot at NASDAQ OMX, where she helped guide its transformation from a non-profit regulatory organization to a publicly traded exchange.

Brunswick also added Chrysta Castaneda, an attorney at Locke Lord and former Texas Congressional candidate, to its Dallas office.

Steve Lipin, U.S. senior partner, said the new hires will bolster his firm’s “ability to deliver value for our clients in the areas of corporate and litigation communications.”
