Feinberg brings a strong background assisting consumer brands, tech companies, universities and non-profits navigating high-stakes reputational challenges.
RALEIGH, NC (March 16) – Accomplished corporate communications and issues management advisor Katy Feinberg is returning to McGuireWoods Consulting as a senior vice president of strategic communications with the advocacy team in Raleigh.
Feinberg rejoins McGuireWoods Consulting after stints with some of the country’s leading public relations agencies, including Rubenstein Communications in New York, where she served as a senior vice president of corporate reputation and issues management. She also worked at Fleishman Hillard and TrailRunner International.
“Being Raleigh-based is critical to meet client needs, and grows our geographic specific offerings, working with communications teammates in Austin, Los Angeles and Virginia,” said Steve Horton, Senior Vice President and Director of MWCAdvocacy.
“I am thrilled to return to McGuireWoods Consulting, whose advocacy platform has scaled substantially,” Feinberg said. “Our national reach and communications expertise makes the firm uniquely positioned to compete and grow in the Raleigh market.”
Feinberg frequently counsels high-net-worth-individuals on public relations strategy as well as thought leadership. Among representative projects and past clients, she has guided global consumer brands responding to data security breaches, supported tech founders and C-Suite executives during government investigations, and advised boards and academic institutions through campus emergencies and leadership transitions.
“We look forward to welcoming Katy back to the advocacy team, where her background in strategic communications will complement the work of our government affairs and legal colleagues,” said Gov. Jim Hodges, President of McGuireWoods Consulting.
“Our clients will benefit significantly from Katy’s global corporate affairs experience, particularly as we expand into new sectors and engagements across North Carolina and nationwide,” said Mark Bowles, Chairman of McGuireWoods Consulting.
