Talk the talk

Ita Gibney, founder and managing director of public relations firm Gibney Communications, talks to David Clerkin.

You’ve just appointed a new chairman, Carlo Crighton, and have plans to put a board of directors in place. What will this change about the company?

Gibney Communications is expanding and the Board will fulfil three functions for the agency - client services and consultancy, agency business strategy and new business development. We are putting in place a small, focused group of directors with balanced skills to help drive the company forward and support the executive team.
