Jon Wentzel, most recently executive VP/corporate & PA in Ogilvy PR's western region, has moved to Burson-Marsteller as executive/VP & chief client officer.
He was responsible for Ogilvy's business development, financial performance client service and talent management for the last ten years.
Wentzel sandwiched a two-year stint as communications director for the Council of Affordable Quality Health Care, between his first nine-year run at the WPP unit, where he handled PA duties.
At B-M, Wentzel will work closely with US CEO Michael Law, who cited the new hire's ability to handle complex client engagements and inspire fellow staffers.
Business leaders will face challenges in the upcoming year, some of which will come as a complete surprise, or beyond anyone's imagination.
