McKinley Rehires Staffing Industry Veteran Kristen Watson
Watson Returns to McKinley as Vice President of National Accounts
Alexandria, VA, March 16, 2007 --(PR.com)-- McKinley Marketing Partners announces the appointment of Kristen Watson as Vice President of National Accounts. McKinley, appearing on the 2006 Washington Business Journal’s list of top 25 staffing companies and Dallas Business Journal’s list of Top Woman-Owned Businesses, delivers experienced marketing, communications, and PR professionals to Fortune 1000 companies and federal agencies.
Watson comes to McKinley from Aquent Marketing Staffing, Art Squad, and Labor Connections where she directed business development efforts for the Dallas market. Prior to these positions, Kristen launched McKinley’s Dallas office in 2001. She secured revenue within the first 30 days of opening the office.
McKinley’s CEO Michelle Boggs exclaimed, “We are delighted to have Kristen come back home! McKinley is experiencing tremendous growth within our strategic accounts. While our business development directors continue to penetrate accounts within their dedicated markets, we realized that the service to our national accounts needed to be managed differently. Kristen was not only a logical choice for this challenge, but the only choice for us. She will be developing business within these accounts as well pioneering a department within McKinley which has yet to be fleshed out. We’re excited to have her on board for this new area of opportunity.”
McKinley, set to launch an upgrade of their proprietary project and contact management system within the coming months, is supporting this business development restructuring with a newly formed client services management team. “We are a service-oriented company,” said President Marcia Call. “This is what we do better than our competition. We’ve evolved from the sales model we needed to build our company in its first decade, to the service model we know will sustain relationships and allow us to continue to develop new relationships. Kristen is a natural at this.”
“I’ve always had a great relationship with McKinley,” said Watson. “I’m looking forward to the challenge of business development at a national level as well growing with the company.”
