Anthem Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Carolyn Kerr, said the appointments reflect increasing client demand for senior strategic counsel alongside development of the next generation of communications talent.
"In his Executive Director role, Conor provides clients deep experience across strategic corporate affairs, reputation, stakeholder and crisis management at a time when organisations are operating under unprecedented scrutiny," said Carolyn.
"Conor's appointment significantly strengthens our senior advisory expertise. At the same time, we are committed to investing in emerging talent, and Alicia joins us as an Account Executive, bringing strong capability shaped through her leadership experience, impressive academic grounding and hands-on campaign work."
