Gloria Janata, executive VP and managing director, health & wellness, for Cohn & Wolfe, has decamped for the president slot at TogoRun, an Omnicom healthcare agency under Fleishman-Hillard.
Janata, who also becomes senior partner, takes the reins from Kathy Hyett, who led TogoRun since its inception in April and takes a chairwoman role. The firm, which has its roots in OMC’s CPR Worldwide, has about 50 staffers across New York, Washington and London.
Janata was a 15-year veteran of Chandler Chicco Companies, heading global accounts like Bayer Biologicals and Allergan, before moving to C&W. She was also a senior VP for the Children’s Health Fund and is a licensed attorney who held posts at the Close Up Foundation, Hill & Knowlton and APCO.
She reports to F-H East president Robert Dowling.
The firm is named after a sled dog from the 1925 Nome Serum Run during a diphtheria epidemic in Alaska.
C&W is part of WPP. |
