The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) has hired veteran communications strategist Brian Wommack as senior vice president of communications, reporting to CRN president & CEO Steve Mister.
 
Most recently, Mr. Wommack was a partner at the law firm Cameron LLP where he led the strategic communications practice, working closely with all three branches of the federal government, state governments, major global corporations, trade associations, charitable foundations, and prominent individuals to achieve goals, promote and protect reputations, and manage risk.
 
Prior to working at Cameron, Mr. Wommack held multiple roles, serving as senior vice president and management supervisor at Powell Tate | Weber Shandwick, a strategic communications and public affairs agency in Washington, DC.
