Michele Quintaglie, who led communications for Fidelity Investments' asset management operation, has moved to Visa as senior VP of global corporate communications.
Doug Michelman left the top Visa PR post in April 2013 amid a revamp of its communications and marketing operations.
Quintaglie spent five years at Blanc & Otus and parent firm Hill+Knowlton in Boston and Washington, D.C., before nine years with Fidelity in Boston. She was previously based in Kenya, working PA and publication for the United Nations and serving as copywriter for McCann Erickson in Nairobi.
Quintaglie, who oversees media relations, executive communications and PA, reports to chief brand officer Antonio Lucio.
