Marissa Shorenstein is leaving AT&T to take over as chief communications officer at WeWork, effective March 26.
Shorenstein has been with AT&T since 2012, serving most recently as president, northern region. Before coming to AT&T, she served as director of communications for Andrew Cuomo’s successful 2010 campaign for New York governor. She also served as press secretary for Cuomo’s predecessor, David Paterson, and was senior manager for strategic planning and corporate communications for the New York Jets.
In her new position, Shorenstein will lead external and internal communications, public affairs and social responsibility functions for WeWork on a global basis. She will report to WeWork CEO Sandeep Mathrani.
WeWork’s previous CCO, Jennifer Sklyer, left the company in September to become chief corporate affairs officer at American Express.
"Marissa’s broad experience deploying communications and public affairs initiatives to advance business strategy and objectives uniquely equips her to lead our communications function,” said Mathrani.
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.
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.
