John Ambler has returned to FleishmanHillard after serving as VP-chief communications and brand officer at United States Steel Corp for three years.
His initial stint at FH was from 2006 to 2008.
Prior to first joining the Omnicom unit, Ambler was an international public & government affairs leader at Texaco and a PA staffer at General Electric’s energy unit.
Ambler was VP-global communications, marketing and PA at Enron from 1998 to 2004, a span that covered its rapid expansion and historic financial meltdown.

Ambler is based in FH’s Houston office.
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.
