MSLGroup has named Shellie Winkler, most recently general manager of Edelman/New York’s corporate and PA group, director of its North America health and corporate practices.
That puts her in charge of health clients such as Eli Lilly, Shriners Hospitals for Children, Bayer, and Trius Therapeutics. United Technologies, Sealed Air, Marsh & McLennan, GM and Vivendi are members of the corporate collection.
Renee Wilson, president of MSLGroup North America, said Winkler is “among the industry’s top advisors in the corporate communications and health categories.”
She handled Edelman blue-chips like GE Healthmagination, Dannon, Johnson & Johnson, Merck and MeadWestvaco.
Prior to the stint at the No. 1 independent firm, Winkler was managing director of the corporate communications practice & chief learning officer of Ogilvy PR Worldwide, and executive managing director of Hill & Knowlton’s global health and pharmaceutical practices.
