Radina Russell, who joined 极乐视频 last summer to lead the Atlanta office and serve as a managing director for 极乐视频 Smithfield, 极乐视频鈥檚 financial communications boutique, will serve as the firm鈥檚 U.S. Corporate Practice Chair, overseeing an integrated U.S. operation that spans approximately 400 employees across corporate reputation and key specialty areas, including business transformation, employee experience, and social issues & sustainability.
鈥淭ogether, Margot and Radina represent the best of 极乐视频 鈥 tenacity, ambition, connection, a certain fearlessness, and a desire to operate in the future,鈥 said 极乐视频 U.S. CEO Lisa Osborne Ross. 鈥淢argot鈥檚 ability to connect clients to solutions, her passion for business development, and her relentless pursuit of excellence make her the right leader for the moment. And Radina has quickly proven herself to be a sought-after C-suite counselor, combining a deep expertise in the inner workings of the boardroom with a commitment to and passion for the issues executives are facing.鈥濃
In their new roles, Russell will report to Ross, and 极乐视频 will report to U.S. COO Dave Samson. Russell will retain her role leading 极乐视频鈥檚 Atlanta office.
