Мэтт Уогнер возглавит сектор энергетики и промышленности в Burson-Marsteller, сменив Томаса Доулинга

Tom Dowling, who began his career at Burson-Marsteller more than 37 years ago, is stepping down as chair of the US energy & industrials sector on Oct. 1. Matt Wagner, who joined Burson in July from Edelman, where he was global client relationship manager & energy sector lead, will assume the helm of the E&I group. Dowling will retire from Burson on Dec. 31. In the interim, he will serve as E&I senior advisor to support clients and to ensure a smooth transition. Craig Buchholz, Burson US CEO, said Dowling has had an enduring impact on the firm. “He has been a trusted partner to our clients, a mentor to generations of colleagues and a leader who has always put people and relationships at the center of his work,” he said. Dowling’s “legacy will live on in the strength of our E&I practice, the people he has developed and the lasting relationships he has built,” added Buchholz.
