Kirk Saville, VP of corporate communications and primary spokeswoman for The Hershey Company, has moved to office supplies giant Staples as VP of global communications.
Saville exits Hershey after nearly nine years at the confectioner. At Framingham, Mass.-based Staples, he takes over a post vacated by Paul Capelli in December, when he left for QVC. Saville reports to Steve Fund, senior VP of marketing at Staples.
A Hershey spokeswoman said the company is searching for a replacement for Saville.
Saville worked corporate PR at telecom software company Aspect Communications and Bell Labs after a journalism career.
Owen Davis is senior manager, global PR, for Staples, which has been tossed around in the presidential campaign for its roots under Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital.
