The Marist Communication Department has its share of
extremely successful alumni. Did you know one particular Marist alumnus is also
an Emmy-nominated reporter, previous Deputy Commissioner for Public Information
for the New York City Police Department and has overseen corporate
communications in the Americas for Barclays PLC and for Merrill Lynch? We are
extremely excited to have Michael O’Looney, current head of communications at Elliott
Management Corporation, as the Marist PRSSA Regional Conference keynote
speaker.
Michael began his career journey in broadcast journalism and
was an Emmy-nominated reporter for WCBS Television and a correspondent for the
CBS Evening News. He covered a range of
domestic and international stories including the terror attacks of September
11th, the death of John F. Kennedy Jr., the crash of TWA Flight 800 and a
series of reports from Interpol on narcotics, weapons and human
trafficking. His career took a turn when
he worked for the New York Police Department, followed by Merrill Lynch, and
most recently with Barclays PLC. He now works for Elliott Management
Corporation that administers two multi-strategy hedge funds which combined have
more than $25 billion in assets under management.
Michael has even appeared in the feature film, City Hall,
and the HBO series, The Sopranos. Conference attendees will be inspired by his
keynote address, Crisis Communication and
Media Relations: Career & Other Life Lessons. We are excited to hear his advice and tips
for a successful career in the communication industry.
Register today for the Marist PRSSA Regional Conference to
hear Michael O’Looney speak at our keynote lunch from 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. on
February 28, 2015.
