Brandy Bergman heads a group of five Sard Verbinnen & Co. veterans to launch Reevemark strategic communications shop to tackle complex value-determinative issues (e.g., activism, crises, M&A, litigation), as well as corporate positioning and reputational matters.
The 20-year veteran was SV&C's managing director in charge of employee development and former senior assistant district attorney in the Kings County (Brooklyn) DA Office.
Hugh Burns (former SV&C's general counsel), Paul Caminiti (ex-chair of SV&C's compensation & marketing/business development committees), Delia Cannan (ex-SV&C MD & Taylor Rafferty alum) and Renée Soto (ex-partner at SV&C who was running Sotocomm) join CEO Bergman as founding partners of the New York-based start-up.
