Peripatetic PR exec Peter Land is slated to land at Finsbury this month as a partner.
Land did a year-long stint as senior VP of corporate communications for AOL from 2013-14 after three years as SVP for PepsiCo.
Finsbury CEO Michael Gross said Land brings a unique set of talents, insights and relationships to the WPP-owned firm.
He was CMO for the Breeder's Cup and director of marketing communications for the NBA around a nine-year run at Edelman, where he was managing director of its sports entertainment and consumer business.
Business leaders will face challenges in the upcoming year, some of which will come as a complete surprise, or beyond anyone's imagination.
