Maggie FitzPatrick, global communications chief of Johnson & Johnson, is slated to join Exelon as senior VP of corporate affairs, philanthropy and customer engagement later this month.
Fitzpatrick, based in Washington for the Chicago-headquartered power giant, will oversee communications, brand strategy, and customer engagement, in addition to distribution of its nearly $40M in annual donations.
She was global chief communications officer and VP of public affairs at J&J until April. She previously was CCO and foundation president at Cigna and served as an executive VP for APCO Worldwide, where Exelon was a client.
In a statement, Exelon CEO Chris Crane praised FitzPatrick's experience with "the world's leading companies and brands."
Exelon posted 2015 revenues of $34.5B.
Why CEO visibility is no longer optional as a communications tactic.
The “waiting period” that was once set aside for CEOs to develop their strategies before facing media scrutiny may be better used for corporate comms leaders get to know their CEO and what his or her short-term priorities will be.
Senior-most communications executives in the Fortune 500 earned between $50,000 and $100,000 more this year than they did two years ago, according to a recent survey of chief communications officers.
