Richard Powell Jr., Burson-Marsteller’s worldwide COO and chair of the firm’s global corporate practice, is heading to Bloomberg to serve as that company’s chief communications officer.
Powell will oversee Bloomberg’s comms strategy and infrastructure as it expands in both new and existing markets. He will report to Bloomberg’s head of government relations and public affairs, Kevin Sheekey.
Burson’s statement, which talks about who will be handling Powell’s responsibilities, is after the jump.
We offer our congratulations to Rick Powell, who will be leaving Burson-Marsteller in mid-January to join Bloomberg LP as that company’s first Global Chief Communications Officer.
