Veronica Brown (pictured) has been named vice president of Gibraltar Associates (GA), one of the fastest-growing communications firms in the United States. Brown’s main focus will be on scientific and technical communications, health care communications, social media and public awareness campaigns.
“We are thrilled to have Veronica join Gibraltar Associates,” said Eric Bovim, GA’s CEO and co-founder. “Her expertise in scientific and health care communications will add to our already expanding capabilities and growth trajectory.”
