During a nearly five-year stint, Fielder headed PR, government relations, PA and internal communications at Madison, WI-headquartered ESC, maker of the Cologuard test for colorectal cancer.
Prior to ESC, Fielder was global external communications lead for Philip Morris International in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Senior-most communications executives in the Fortune 500 earned between $50,000 and $100,000 more this year than they did two years ago, according to a recent survey of chief communications officers.
The pressure is on PR pros to make sure corporate messaging remains clear and cohesive. Business jargon is an obstacle to achieving this goal.
In today's volatile world of constant disruption, the ability to offer reliability and dependability is more valuable than ever.
