ST. LOUIS, Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Guillaume Herbette, who has held senior FleishmanHillard positions in Europe and the United States for more than 12 years, has been named vice chairman of operations, Dave Senay, president and CEO, announced today.
"As our firm's client base grows, so do our opportunities to provide truly integrated client service and solutions on a global scale," Senay said. "We have an excellent global management team in place to oversee that growth and, in this new role, I know Guillaume will be a tremendous addition to that senior team."
Herbette, who is based in New York, joins vice chairmen Bill Anderson and Kurt Wehrsten in having day-to-day responsibility for Fleishman-Hillard's operations. He will focus primarily on overseeing the firm's operations in North America and on growing its business with new and existing clients.
"Guillaume has been a consistently high performer on every assignment he has tackled during his Fleishman-Hillard career, and he has had a close working relationship with Kurt and Bill for many years," Senay said. "Naming him as our third vice chairman will help ensure that we maintain the operational excellence that our clients expect as our operations continue to expand."
Herbette, who is a CPA, had a nine-year career in finance at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Paris and New York before joining Fleishman-Hillard in 1998 as senior vice president and finance director for Europe. He has also served as Fleishman-Hillard's chief operating officer for Europe and South Africa, as managing director of global standards and, most recently, as chief operating officer for the East, West and Canada regions in North America. Herbette, a native of France, holds a master's degree in economics from the University of Picardie and a master's degree in finance from the University of Brittany.
