Greek yogurt leader Chobani has brought Michael Gonda in-house as VP of corporate communications from Weber Shandwick.
Chobani, which navigated some PR troubles last year after a recall over mold issues, moved its PR account to Weber Shandwick last September. Chief communications officer Nicki Briggs stepped down among a spate of departures in November and it didn't post the VP/comms. job until earlier this year.
Gonda spent four years at WS, encompassing a stint in Beijing and rising to in 2014 handling corporate communications and corporate issues accounts, including Chobani.
Business leaders will face challenges in the upcoming year, some of which will come as a complete surprise, or beyond anyone's imagination.
