Ketchum reorganized its London management, naming former European healthcare head Avril Lee as co-deputy CEO, responsible for the office’s three main consultancy offers in healthcare, consumer and corporate affairs. She will share the role with Nick Propper.

Susannah Knox moves from director, healthcare to managing director, assuming Lee’s previous responsibilities for management and development of the London team serving UK and international clients. Sebastien Desprez becomes managing director of international healthcare.

“There is no question that Susannah and Sebastien have been big forces behind Ketchum’s emergence as a London healthcare powerhouse, and we want to give them plenty of room for navigation,” said London CEO David Gallagher. “These new roles will let them deepen and expand the services we’re able to offer clients in this sector.”
