FleishmanHillard replaces tech head after departure to Chameleon

FleishmanHillard's UK technology head Tom Berry is leaving the company to become chief executive officer (CEO) of Chameleon, with Sophie Scott set to take his place.

Mr Berry will depart the agency on November 4th 2013 in order to take over the CEO role at Chameleon, whose founder Helen Holland will become the company's chair to coincide with this move, reports Gorkana.

He has been with FleishmanHillard since May 2012 and has been working in the PR field since 2005, with former employers including Inferno Communications and Bite Communications.

"Chameleon is an extremely ambitious company, with excellent people, a range of skill sets and – most importantly – an appetite to grow. That has always been a great motivation for me," he said.

At FleishmanHillard, current director Ms Scott will take over as leader of its technology team in London, having worked with the company since 2003, when she joined from Lewis PR.

She will continue to drive growth within the tech practice, leveraging her experience of working with clients such as Avaya Intel, AT&T, TCS and Autodesk.
