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.
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.
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.
