Weiss Stagliano Brings in Planner

Lowe Lintas & Partners has named a second general manager to tackle agency operations, freeing up New York president Rob Quish to concentrate on tasks such as business development.

Elissa Goldman, 42, carries the title of evp, general manager, operations—a new post. She works alongside Peter Hempel, who became evp, general manager, account management, in the fall [Adweek, Oct. 30]. Both report to Quish.

Previously, Goldman was evp, director of broadcast buying at Lowe Lintas. She retains those duties while adding responsibilities for agency policies and procedures.

In her new role, Goldman, who assumed the post late last month, works closely with colleagues to create efficiencies.
