ST.
LOUIS, Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --
FleishmanHillard today announced that Mary
Kosinski has joined the agency as global managing director
of Health and Life Sciences effective immediately. Kosinski will
lead FleishmanHillard's largest sector and be responsible for
driving transformation, expanding focus and delivering integrated
solutions for clients.
"Mary's energy and deep regulatory and policy experience will
bring tremendous insights to our clients and fresh perspectives to
our team," said Mark Mortell, global
head of practices and sectors for FleishmanHillard. "Her background
in government agencies complements FleishmanHillard's strong
healthcare credentials and expertise across the sector."
Before joining FleishmanHillard Kosinski served in multiple
regulatory, advocacy and public health advisory roles. Most
recently as the head of global corporate affairs for Pi Health and
previously at the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of
America. For nearly 15 years, Mary worked both domestically and
overseas with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the
Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, and was the
first chief of staff at the Biomedical Advanced Research and
Development Authority.
In addition to Kosinski's appointment, the agency announced
three new leadership roles within Health and Life Sciences:
- John Gisborne as the sector's global head of strategic
client partnerships expanding client relationships and building
strategic opportunities.
- Marc Longpre as global head of strategy and insights for
the sector, building up agency capabilities and key areas of
expertise.
- Jenyne Engelhardt as global head
of operations and integration for the sector, driving efficiency,
service integration and talent engagement.
These senior leaders bring deep industry expertise, have led
client teams and have served as counselors for clients across
FleishmanHillard's global health network. Kosinski and the new
sector leadership team will work to diversify the business, ensure
career development for agency colleagues and cultivate a culture of
client experience excellence.
Kosinski and the leadership team will be working closely with
other global and regional health leaders across OPRG agencies.
"I'm excited to join such a dynamic organization and talented
team at such a pivotal moment for the healthcare industry," said
Kosinski. "The pace of change is unlike any other in healthcare's
history – digital transformation, Gen AI, patient-centered care and
novel drugs and therapeutics are all contributing to a new era
where communications is vital in helping clients meet patient and
consumer expectations. FleishmanHillard's deep health and life
sciences experience will ensure we're ready to help clients achieve
their goals and navigate the challenges they face with the agility,
thought leadership and expert support they need."
FleishmanHillard's Health and Life Sciences sector is
FleishmanHillard's largest, providing expert counsel and
communications support for healthcare clients' needs across
reputation, product brand building, patient and healthcare
professional engagement, public affairs, crisis communications,
social and innovation, research and media relations.
Today's announcement follows the appointment of J.J. Carter to
president and CEO of the agency in October
2024, and his new global leadership team in November 2024, reflecting FleishmanHillard's
transformation and expanded focus on the use of intelligence and
technology. Kosinski's appointment marks the agency's continued
