Reuters journalist Michael Flaherty is joining the new public relations firm Gladstone Place Partners started by former Wall Street Journal reporter Steve Lipin.
Flaherty will be a senior vice president in the new firm.
Flaherty most recently led Reuters’ activist shareholder and corporate governance coverage out of New York. In his 14 years at Reuters, Flaherty also covered the Federal Reserve and ran Reuters’ Asia financial news desk out of Hong Kong.
“I’m incredibly proud of the strong team my colleagues and I have built at Gladstone Place – designed from the ground-up to be a partner of choice for companies as they weigh critical strategic priorities and navigate this environment,” said Lipin in a statement.
Gladstone plans to focus on financial communications, corporate reputation and strategic positioning, issues management and corporate governance communications.
