Moonlight Media Ltd., a leading specialist public relations agency, announced today that financial markets veteran, Roger Hawkins, has joined the board as a non-executive director.
Hawkins was the founder and senior partner at Oriel Selection, which he sold to Synergy Selection in April 2010; he has been engaged as a consultant since then. Prior to setting up his own business, more than 20 years ago, he was at Reuters for many years, initially selling to the commodities and corporate sectors before heading up marketing for Reuters Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Hawkins says, “I am delighted to join Moonlight Media, and work with the founders, John Norris and Alla Lapidus, and look forward to working with them for the benefit of Moonlight Media and its clients. The company has been growing rapidly and I hope to play a part in its continuing expansion.”
John Norris, managing director of Moonlight Media Ltd., said, “This is a great time for Roger to join us and it’s excellent news that he’s agreed to take on the role of a non-executive director. Roger is exceptionally well connected in the industry and we feel he will contribute greatly to the continuing growth of Moonlight Media. We specialise in financial technology and feel sure his deep knowledge of these markets will be of real value to us. This appointment comes within months of the announcement of our pan-Asian partnership with Inter.Asia Communications which, together with our existing US alliances, will help us to further strengthen our global reach.”
