Jamie Moldafsky, who exited Wells Fargo in September as chief marketing officer, has joined Nielsen Holdings, the measurement and data analytics giant, as chief marketing and communications officer.
During her nine-year run at the west coast bank, Moldafsky handled global brand strategy, product marketing, media relations, research, events and sponsorships.
Earlier, she held key positions at American Express (VP-marketing), Charles Schwab (senior VP-marketing) and Whirlpool (GM-KitchenAid).
David Kenney, CEO of Nielsen, experts Moldafsky’s ability to “apply best in class marketing solutions, engage in thought leadership and deploy successful strategies for reputation management” will help the company accelerate partnerships within the industry.
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.
