 Heather Wilson |
Heather Wilson, who joined MWWPR in February as executive VP/managing director of national crisis/issues management practice, is no longer with the Jersey-based independent firm.
Prior to joining MWWPR, Wilson headed Abernathy MacGregor's San Francisco office and led Bay Area issues, financial communications and corporate reputation work.
She also served as executive VP for Weber Shandwick, where she handled communications surrounding the so-called "Miracle on the Hudson" crash landing of US Air Flight 1549 piloted by Capt. "Sully" Sullenberger.
MWWPR CEO Michael Kempner could not be reached for comment about a replacement for Wilson, whom he had lauded as "one of the leading crisis communications and corporate reputation professionals in our industry."
