David Vindel, managing director of technology at Huntsworth’s Red Consultancy, will move to Ketchum Pleon early next year.
The 16-year PR veteran will become European managing director/technology post and London practice chief.
Vindel, who was at Band & Brown Communications before Red, has handled Adobe, Symantec, McAfee, Autonomy and Vodafone.
He will report to Avril Lee, CEO of Ketchum Pleon’s London outpost, and Esty Pujadas, global high-tech practice director.
Pujadas believes Vindel’s “gravitas and leadership style” will make him a good fit at Ketchum Pleon, which counts IBM, Siemens Network, Google and IBM as clients.
