Blanc & Otus COO Anna Cahill Leonard has been named president of Cohn & Wolfe’s AxiCom U.S. technology operation. She reports to CEO Donna Imperato.
The 25-year PR veteran also helmed the Hill & Knowlton’s unit’s San Francisco Bay operation, advising tech heavyweights such as Oracle, Cisco and Facebook. Leonard served Porter Novelli for a decade, exiting that shop as executive VP.
AxiCom was formed in 2000 to handle C&W’s tech and telecommunications clients. That roster included Dell, ZTE, Intelligent Energy, iPass, ADT and Red Hat.
Julian Tanner heads AxiCom’s European operations. He will work closely with Leonard.
C&W and H&K are owned by WPP.
