Felicia Collins, chief communications officer for Ventura Foods, has moved to Tyson Foods as VP of corporate communications.
Collins built the corporate communications unit at Ventura, the Brea, Calif.-based maker of cooking oils, spreads, dressings and other products formed in 1996 by the merger of Wilsey and Holsum Foods.
She was previously a senior VP and food and nutrition group head for Edelman in Washington, D.C., and earlier was a director for Bozell PR, now Weber Shandwick.
At publicly traded Tyson, based in Springdale, Ark., she heads PR, social media and internal comms. under corporate affairs EVP Sara Lilygren. Tyson brands include Hillshire Farm (Hillshire Brands was its $8.5B merger partner in 2014), Sara Lee and Ball Park.
Established through a founding gift from 2025 Page Hall of Fame inductee and former Weber Shandwick Global CEO Andy Polansky, the fund is meant to serve as a catalyst for empowering future senior communications leaders as well as increasing the diversity in the chief communications officer pipeline.
Some well-honed communications strategies typically deployed in an activist situation must be set aside when the activist is also the founder of the company. Such situations require a more tailored response: one that respects the founder’s credibility without conceding the company’s future, addresses shareholders’ financial interests while acknowledging questions of legacy, and anticipates that the fight may be as personal and persistent as it is strategic.
Molly Fogarty, who rose to head of corporate affairs & sustainability at Nestle during a nearly 23-year stint, will join Brunswick Group as a partner in DC on Sept. 14.
Senior leaders have been exiting newly combined agencies since the wave of integrations started—the kind of departures that don't always make headlines but show up in who's running client accounts six months later.
Why CEO visibility is no longer optional as a communications tactic.
