Fitzgerald, who also takes on the role of executive VP, heads
internal and external communications for the company.
In an eight-year career at Lucent, she rose to SVP of PR
and advertising and played a role in developing the company's
original brand as a spinoff from AT&T.
She recently served as an independent consultant affiliated
with Text 100.
KPMG had a rough couple of years on the PR front as federal
prosecutors pursued charges that it set up questionable tax
shelters for wealthy clients. The firm last year agreed to
pay more than $450M in fines to settle the charges.
