Jennifer Wayman, who led Ogilvy PR's US social change practice out of Washington, has moved to Hager Sharp as president and CEO, following a search.
The appointment makes Wayman the third leader at the firm following the death of founder Susan Hager in 2008.
Wayman takes the reins after the February exit of Lynne Doner Lotenberg, who replaced president and CEO Garry Curtis in 2013.
HS board chair Barbara Davis Blum said Wayman "quickly rose to the top" of the firm's search for a top executive. The DC firm counts around 65 staffers with clients like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Nature Conservancy.
Wayman spent more than 20 years at Ogilvy in D.C.
