Michele Quintaglie, global head of communications for Visa, is stepping down after two years after the payments company brought in a top exec to oversee marketing and communications earlier this year.
Quintaglie moved to Visa in 2014 in a senior VP role from Fidelity Investments. That hire followed a revamp of Visa's marketing and communications. She worked on the agency side at Blanc & Otus and its Hill+Knowlton Strategies parent.
Visa in February tapped Time Inc. EVP Lynne Biggar as executive VP and chief marketing and communications officer. She is a former marketing exec at American Express.
Visa has begun a search for a replacement.
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.
