He succeeds David Sutphen, who is exiting to digital education outfit 2U to serve as its newly minted chief communications & engagement office slot.

Mark Palmer, Brunswick’s US management partner, said Sutphen is leaving to pursue his “lifelong passion for education.”

He praised Little, who joined the UK-headquartered corporate PR and financial-oriented firm in 2015, for his “wealth of experience and deep-seating expertise” in disciplines such as crisis communications, cybersecurity and reputational/PA matters.
