Financial pro Doug Hesney, executive VP for Dukas Linden PR, has shifted to Makovsky as EVP to head its financial and professional services operation.
He takes a role vacated in June by Scott Tangney, who decamped for a managing director slot in ICR's corporate communications group.
Hesney led Dukas' asset management practice and designed analytics and measurement programs for agency clients over nearly 10 years with the firm.
Makovsky president and CEO Ken Makovsky called Hesney "a professional who holds proven insight and deep subject-matter knowledge in both financial and professional services."
