Deonanan, who will celebrate a decade of service with Business Wire in 2012, was named regional manager for Northern Europe last year, following her successful four-year stint as UK/Ireland regional manager. She will report to Ken Bouton, senior vice president, global sales, in her newly-expanded role.
With both London and Frankfurt coming off strong years in 2011, Deonanan´s mandate is to build upon that success, as well as grow revenues in markets where Business Wire does not have a direct physical presence.
"Kim is in a very enviable situation," said Bouton, who announced Deonanan´s appointment. "Business Wire has a strong global brand presence, primarily based on its earned reputation as the industry´s gold standard. While Business Wire has experienced strong growth in Europe, we believe that we have only scratched the surface in terms of the market´s development. Kim will help Business Wire advance to the next level."
Deonanan is well-suited for her new responsibilities, having spent four years in international trading, and two years in financial sales. Her professional organization memberships include the Investor Relations Society, and The Chartered Institute of Public Relations.
Her passions outside the office include the ballet, watching triathlons, and travel.
