Michael Gonda has joined McDonald’s as VP-global communications after a nearly five-year stint at Chobani.
He joined McDonald’s “to partner with leaders across the corporate relations function and the organization at large to build on the momentum of one of the most iconic and important brands in the world,” according to Gonda’s Linked-In post.
Robert Gibbs, who was President Obama’s press secretary, is chief communications officer at McDonald's.
Gonda joined Chobani in 2014 as VP-communications and left in January as senior VP-corporate affairs in charge of internal/external/executive communications, government relations, nutrition PR and sustainability.
Earlier, he worked in corporate communications at Weber Shandwick in New York and Beijing, and began his career as a freelance journalist contributing articles to the New York Observer, Rolling Stone, Deseret News and Providence Journal.
Established through a founding gift from 2025 Page Hall of Fame inductee and former Weber Shandwick Global CEO Andy Polansky, the fund is meant to serve as a catalyst for empowering future senior communications leaders as well as increasing the diversity in the chief communications officer pipeline.
Some well-honed communications strategies typically deployed in an activist situation must be set aside when the activist is also the founder of the company. Such situations require a more tailored response: one that respects the founder’s credibility without conceding the company’s future, addresses shareholders’ financial interests while acknowledging questions of legacy, and anticipates that the fight may be as personal and persistent as it is strategic.
Molly Fogarty, who rose to head of corporate affairs & sustainability at Nestle during a nearly 23-year stint, will join Brunswick Group as a partner in DC on Sept. 14.
Senior leaders have been exiting newly combined agencies since the wave of integrations started—the kind of departures that don't always make headlines but show up in who's running client accounts six months later.
Why CEO visibility is no longer optional as a communications tactic.
