Corporate Communications VP Bill Whitman
PMG Pat Donahoe has announced the appointment of William (Bill) Whitman Jr., a veteran communications leader and public relations executive, as Corporate Communications VP.
“Bill brings more than 30 years of corporate communications and public relations leadership to the Postal Service,” said Donahoe. “As vice president, Bill will be responsible for all aspects of our internal and external communications, and will lead our efforts to advance public understanding of our products, services and corporate mission.”
“I am excited to join the world’s leading postal service agency and one of the most recognized brands in the world, to develop communications and public relations initiatives that align with our business plans and priorities as well as advocate for our customers,” Whitman said.
Whitman recently served as vice president and chief communications officer for McDonald’s USA. During his 13-year tenure with McDonald’s Corp., he held senior positions in communications and corporate relations and led a variety of high-profile corporate initiatives.
Prior to joining McDonald’s Corp., Whitman held several positions with leading public relations and marketing communications agencies, and also previously held leadership positions with Exxon USA in strategic communications, community relations, public affairs and regulatory compliance.
Whitman has received recognition throughout his career from local, national and international organizations, including the Public Relations Society of America, PR Week, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, and the United Way.
Whitman earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mass communications from Southern Illinois University and attended the Thunderbird School of Global Management.
In making his announcement, Donahoe also thanked Judy de Torok for her work over the past 8 months. “She led the Corporate Communications team through several high-profile USPS events, including the rebranding of Priority Mail, price filing and Amazon Sunday delivery,” said Donahoe.
Expedite big macs 7 days a week. A VP from the fast junk food business to director of communications for junk mail delivery. This combo must have been supersized with an extra order of bs. Pat its your time to order, get a combo. Need to cut down on the fries as these trans fats increase belly fat.
That’s exactly what the USPS is/will be doing. First early outs, PSE employees with lower wages. Then who knows what the next act will bring?!
When he is performing hi BS speeches, will he be offering a free
McPostal Meal? Or will you win a prize if you guess who gets promoted next
Just what we needed another Blowhard VP to help Dumahoe spew his lies to the public. Why not hire a guy who’s previous job was trying to convince people that McDonald could be good for you. He will now take the head Liar-in-Charge job at the good old USPS
Yet another wasteful, unnecessary, corrupt position, that contributes nothing to moving the mail.
Remember this, when Donuthole is crying about losing money.
