Weber Shandwick has appointed Dave Whiting as General Manager for its Boston office. In his new role, Whiting's new responsibilities include overseeing the approximately 80-person office, driving innovation, and leading clients and proactive business growth within the Boston market. Additionally, he will assume a leadership role in the agency's corporate affairs and advisory business in North America. 

Whiting started his career in politics, where he was deputy to the campaign manager for the 2004 Kerry/Edwards Presidential campaign in Philadelphia, and served as a media liaison at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston. He then transitioned to the corporate world, working with leading organizations such as Sloane & Company and Fleishman Hillard. Most recently, he spent 12 years at Edelman, where he was global chief operating officer of Edelman Business Marketing, overseeing the firm’s B2B operations. 

“Dave’s experience across marketing, communications, and politics makes him the ideal leader for our next chapter. “Our clients are increasingly looking for expertise at the intersection of business, society, culture and politics,” said Jim O’Leary, Weber Shandwick North America CEO and global president.
