“Patrícia’s extensive experience in providing high level business and corporate communications strategy provides a valuable perspective for managing the delivery of services to our clients,” said Brian Burlingame, CEO of JeffreyGroup.  “We look forward to drawing upon her expertise in continuing the growth and evolution of our Brazil operation and as part of our regional agency leadership team.”

Rodrigo Pinotti, who had been Managing Director at JeffreyGroup Brazil since 2017, has left the company.
