Iain Waterman (pictured, left) has been promoted from Senior Account Director to Vice President. He will be responsible for leading programs for clients in the aerospace, cybersecurity and financial services sectors.

Katrina Calvi (pictured, right) has been appointed as Account Director, Digital Strategy & Content, to lead Sefiani's digital marketing offering. She brings a decade of experience and will be working closely with Clarity Global’s digital teams in London and New York, and Sydney-based Head of Editorial Content Alice Spraggon.

Georgia Swindley and Rochelle Abdallah have been brought in as Account Manager and Account Executive respectively. Georgia joins from UK-based agency, Citypress and will be working across corporate, professional services and technology clients, while Rochelle will be working with clients across corporate communications and public affairs.

The team changes follow the recent promotion of long-time Sefiani Director, Nick Owens, who is now President Corporate & Crisis Communications, as previously reported by Telum Media. He will continue to advise Sefiani's clients while sharing knowledge to support crisis response for clients of Clarity Global.

Sefiani’s Managing Partner, Mandy Galmes said: "We warmly welcome Katrina, Georgia and Rochelle and know the diverse services and sector experience they bring will further enhance our integrated communications offering across earned, paid, shared and owned digital and mainstream media channels.

"We are also thrilled with the promotions of Nick and Iain. As part of our acquisition by Clarity Global, we wanted to ensure we could grow all of our people, including our senior team members. Through the new professional development pathways available to our team, we are excited to see both Nick and Iain step into their new roles, where we know they will thrive."
