Rob Ferris, one-time head of Honeywell’s global external communications unit, has joined Hill+Knowlton Strategies as head of its US energy & industrials practice.
Most recently, Ferris was chief communications officer at Axalta Coating Systems, the $5B producer of automotive and industrial coatings.
He also held spots at GCI Group and MWWPR, handling corporate positioning, executive transitions and governance matters.
Richard Miller, H+K global president & Americas chief, said Ferris’ experience will strengthen the PR firm’s client service and fuel creativity, innovation and growth in the E&I practice.

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.
