SenateSHJ makes two senior appointments in reputation and engagement

SenateSHJ has appointed Partners, Scott Thomson as co-lead of its Reputation Practice, and Bronwyn Raso as head of its Engagement Practice.

Scott will co-lead the Reputation Practice offering with Partner, Craig Badings. He brings global expertise supporting senior executives in high-stakes environments to navigate complex issues and crises, and manage organisational reputation.

Having contributed to growth in SenateSHJ's Engagement Practice in recent years, Bronwyn has expertise in helping clients engage in environments such as energy, infrastructure and healthcare, and has helped deepen the agency's ability at AI engagement.

Darren Behar, CEO of SenateSHJ, said: "A collision of transformative shocks - social, environmental, geopolitical, technological and economic - has provoked profound challenges and created unique opportunities. No organisation can avoid these pivotal changes. They shape perceptions, conspire against clarity and accelerate misinformation, erode trust and reputation.

"These appointments position us strongly to help clients with some of their most challenging problems. Together, Scott and Bronwyn offer decades of experience and a calm, clear-eyed approach in the moments that matter most."
