Greg Mondshein has been named a senior vice president at Hotwire’s New York headquarters. Mondshein joins Hotwire from Miami-based consumer technology agency Max Borges Agency, where he was vice president and advised that agency's sizeable roster of tech clients. He first joined Max Borges as an account executive in 2007, before later filling account manager and director positions before becoming vice president in 2012.

Mondshein is married to Max Borges account supervisor Kristen Mondshein, who, as reported today by O'Dwyer's, relocated to that agency's newly opened New York office from its Miami headquarters.

At Hotwire, Mondshein will now guide the agency’s continued growth by bolstering its reputation and network in the U.S.

Laura McDonaldLaura McDonald

Laura Macdonald has been named a vice president in the agency’s San Francisco location. Macdonald comes to San Francisco from Hotwire’s London office, where she served as director and headed the agency’s consumer and tech practices.

Macdonald, who joined Hotwire in 2008, will now spearhead west coast and international client programs for the agency.

Hotwire group CEO Brendon Craigie in a statement said the addition of Mondshein and Macdonald to its U.S. team advances the agency’s ability to provide clients with top talent. Craigie said Mondshein and Macdonald “both bring that rare combination of high level strategic skills and a tenacious focus on results” and join the agency “with great track records driving business results for clients."

New York-headquartered Hotwire, which was founded in 2000, is a subsidiary of Australia-based marketing and communications network Enero Group Limited. Hotwire accounted for $3.1 million in tech related net fees last year, according to O'Dwyer's rankings of PR firms.
