Katie Myler, who was senior media advisor to U.K. Labour Party head Ed Milliband, checks in at Burson-Marsteller next month as director and senior consultant.
She spent ten years at London’s GMTV handling political coverage, including a two-year stint as New York bureau chief, where she reported on the Bush/Kerry election, terrorism and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Myler worked in Gordon Brown’s government as advisor to then-Home Secretary Jacqui Smith and Andy Burnham, former Secretary of State for Health.
She advised Milliband as challenged his brother, David, to become leader of the opposition following the May election that resulted in a coalition government.
Myler reports to Chris Cartwright, B-M’s corporate lead.
