NEW YORK: Hill & Knowlton hired Anne de Schweinitz as a New York-based SVP of the European healthcare practice in fall 2009.
De Schweinitz, who previously spent nearly 10 years in the healthcare practice at MS&L Worldwide, manages the relationships between US and European healthcare clients. She reports to Paul Taafe, chairman and CEO of H&K, until the firm fills the global healthcare position, which was vacated by AnnaMaria DeSalva in November 2009. H&K said in February that it hired Susan Thiele as the director of New York healthcare.
