Mary Grady, a former reporter and public information director for the Los Angeles Police Department, has been tapped by Los Angeles World Airports to lead public and media relations for LAX.
Grady had been running her own PR shop since stepping down from the LAPD in June after 10 years.
At LAX, the third busiest airport in the U.S. and No. 6 globally, she takes the role of director of public and media relations. The hire comes as the airport is engaged in a $4.1B capital improvement plan targeting nearly every facet of its operation – from airline gates todining.
Grady was a TV reporter for 13 years with stints at KWHY, KCOP and CBS2. She also hosted a 30-minute weekly TV show for the LAPD.
