Chris Monteiro, chief communications officer and 18-year veteran of MasterCard, has moved to tax advisory giant KPMG in its top communications post.
Monteiro took up the chief communications officer post today in New York. Seth Oster, former CCO, departed KPMG last August to head PR for Paul Allen's Vulcan Inc.
He spent the last five years in charge of MasterCard's communications apparatus, including reputation management, digital and social marketing and comms., crisis management and internal comms., among other units.
He joined the financial services giant in 1998 after an agency career that included The Sherry Group, Wirz & Associates and Mintz & Hoke Comms. Group.
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.
FGS Global has hired controversial management consultant McKinsey & Co. to forge a growth plan as the corporate communications shop will soon be a full-owned property of KKR & Co. investment firm.
