One of Australia’s most successful PR executives is the final speaker to be announced for this week’s CommsCon conference.

Chris Savage, chief operating officer of STW Group, will be a panellist for CommsCon Question Time, which will be the final keynote session of Thursday’s CommsCon conference. CommsCon, focused on the PR and communications industry, is organised by Mumbrella’s parent company Focal Attractions.

Savage joined the panel after new Public Relations Institute of Australia president Mike Watson withdrew on Friday, citing work pressures.

In 2000, Savage was the founding staff member of Ogilvy PR Australia which he took on to become the biggest and most profitable public relations business in Australia. This followed a 14 year stint with PR giant Burson-Marsteller with roles including Asia Pacific VP and chief executive for Australia.
