Experienced executive to help drive firm’s next phase of growth in the U.S.
H/Advisors today announced Carina Davidson as Chief Executive Officer of H/Advisors in the U.S., cementing the next phase of growth for the Havas-owned strategic communications firm in the United States. She previously served as Interim CEO and held various leadership roles during her nearly 30-year tenure at the firm, which earlier this month transitioned to H/Advisors from H/Advisors Abernathy as part of a global rebrand.
A seasoned communications expert, she brings over thirty years of practitioner experience to the CEO position, advising Boards and senior executives on communications strategies surrounding critical, high-stakes moments.
“Carina embodies the deep market insight, bold thinking and problem-solving ethos that define H/Advisors,” said Stéphane Fouks, Executive Chairman of H/Advisors and Executive Vice-President, Havas. “As we scale H/Advisors in the U.S., we are experiencing an unprecedented pace of change within our industry. Our clients demand senior counsel and informed insights that are AI-enabled, relevant and provide quantifiable value to their organizations. Since stepping up as Interim CEO last year, Carina and her team have demonstrated those capabilities while embracing AI and new ways of operating that put the firm on a path to sustainable growth.”
“I am excited to officially take the helm at H/Advisors U.S., at a time when the strategic communications landscape is more dynamic than ever and companies are looking for holistic solutions to meet their communications needs,” said Davidson. “I look forward to building on our 40-year legacy of excellence and helping to steer H/Advisors in the U.S. through its next phase of growth while bringing best-in-class fully integrated communications and public affairs capabilities to our clients.”
