Amber Allman, who was VP-corporate communications & events at Gannett's USA Today Network, is now head of corporate communications & PR at alliantgroup, Houston-based management consultant.
The company focuses on helping mid-sized businesses take advantage of incentives, such as research credits, to fuel growth and innovation, she told O'Dwyers.

She also was VP at 463 Communications, technology/policy shop, and PR officer at the American Red Cross headquarters in DC.
