4A's Taps Proven Executive Todd Hittle for Dual Role of Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operating Officer

NEW YORK, May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The 4A's, the leading trade association representing the advertising agency business, is pleased to announce its newest executive, Todd Hittle, who will take on the dual role of CFO/COO. Hittle brings strong operational and strategic leadership experience and a successful track record of re-engineering business models and recruiting and managing high-performing talent.

Hittle replaces the outgoing CFO/COO Laura Bartlett, who has retired after seven stellar years in the dual role. During her tenure, Bartlett served as a trusted leader, successfully seeing the organization through the recession, an ongoing reorganization and a relocation into a new space.

Most recently, Hittle served as general manager and CFO of ABM, an association that represents the business media and information industry, where he worked for five years. Prior to that, he held several leadership roles while at the Nielsen Company for some 14 years.

"Todd is a terrific addition to the 4A's leadership team," said Nancy Hill, president and CEO of the 4A's. "He is a proven strategic leader and the perfect successor to Laura, whose contributions we will always be grateful for."

"Joining the team at the 4A's is an exciting prospect," said Hittle. "It is a thrill to be part of such an esteemed organization as it launches new and exciting initiatives for its members and the industry at large."
