Randa Stephan, global head of marketing and brand at Weber Shandwick, is moving to Hill+Knowlton Strategies, where she will take the reins as the firm’s first dedicated chief marketing and communications officer on September 15.

Last year, Stephan led the launch of The Weber Shandwick Collective, which formalized the firm’s ecosystem of specialist agencies. She previously led the agency’s integrated digital group in New York.

She has worked in the advertising sector, holding account positions at Ogilvy & Mather and Saatchi & Saatchi.
