Anne Bologna, the well-connected executive who joined MDC Partners in New York to add firepower to the Toronto-based ad/PR holding company, has exited after a two-year stint.

She handled executive recruitment and development as MDC, working to bolster its profile against larger combines such as WPP, Omnicom and Interpublic.

Advertising Age reports the departure was a mutual decision.

Bologna spent the bulk of her 25-year career at Fallon, where she was director of strategic planning in Minneapolis and head of the New York office.

She was founding partner and CEO of Toy ad shop and chief of Cramer-Krasselt’s NYC office.

MDC, which is helmed by Miles Nadal, said it appreciates Bologna’s contributions and expects her to remain a friend as she pursues other interests.

MDC’s PR units include Kwittken + Co., Sloane & Co., Veritas Communications and Allison + Partners.
