Millar is also the senior lead on clients - including adidas Global - across all categories.“Millar's significant track record in the UK, the role he has played in advancing creativity and innovation globally, and his true commitment to our US business make him an ideal choice to lead our operation and personally drive its accelerated transformation," said AnnaMaria DeSalva, global chairman and CEO of Hill+Knowlton Strategies, whom Millar will report to.Meanwhile Grønntun, as the leader of its international portfolio, in addition to taking responsibility for the major markets of the UK, Germany, Canada, and Greater China will handle several other regions including Asia, Latin America, Continental Europe, and Nordic clusters. He will also continue to oversee the global operations agenda and will likewise report to DeSalva.Grønntun has led and transformed H+K’s largest region - Europe, Middle East and Africa - since 2014. He is a senior strategy consultant within corporate communications and public affairs and senior lead for some of H+K’s top clients, including Equinor (formerly known as Statoil).Other than these appointments, finance (led by Andy Scharf), HR and talent (led by Kate Augustine), business development and marketing (led by Sam Lythgoe), and global counsel (led by Meredith Marks), will now report directly to AnnaMaria DeSalva, as will all global sector leads.
