Tony Sayegh, who was spokesperson for Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, has taken a managing director spot at Teneo.
As assistant secretary of the Treasury, he coordinated the communications push behind the Trump administration’s tax cut and other economic initiatives.
Sayeh also was involved in trade negotiations with China, traveling to Beijing four times with the US delegation.
Before joining Mnuchin, Sayegh was executive VP at Jamestown Assocs, a political consulting and advertising shop that placed ads for the Trump election campaign. He also was a Fox News contributor.
Teneo, which bills itself as a global CEO advisory, was founded by Doug Band, who was President Clinton’s chief counsel, and Declan Kelly, ex-Financial Dynamics CEO and economic envoy for Northern Ireland for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Why CEO visibility is no longer optional as a communications tactic.
The “waiting period” that was once set aside for CEOs to develop their strategies before facing media scrutiny may be better used for corporate comms leaders get to know their CEO and what his or her short-term priorities will be.
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.
