HARRISBURG, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quantum Communications is thrilled to announce that Kevin Harley, director of communications and press secretary to Governor Tom Corbett, will join the firm in September. Harley will be managing director and a shareholder at Quantum Communications, a regional leader in strategic communications.
Harley, a veteran of Pennsylvania government, has served as press secretary to the attorney general of Pennsylvania in addition to his duties with the governor. He has served as communications director and press secretary on five statewide campaigns.
Harley began his career with Congressman (then state Representative) Joe Pitts. A graduate of Millersville University with a degree in political science, Harley now serves as a trustee of the university. Harley honorably served his country as an officer in the United States Army Reserve for 12 years.
"We couldn't be happier to have Kevin at Quantum Communications," said Charlie Gerow, CEO of Quantum Communications. "Kevin brings a lifetime of high-level experience in strategic communications, issue advocacy and media relations. He is acknowledged throughout the state and region as a leader in strategy, advocacy and media."
"It's well known that I have the highest professional regard for Kevin Harley," said Gerow. "It may not be as well known that he is one of my closest personal friends. He and his wife are the godparents of my daughter. In many ways this move has been a quarter of a century in the making."
At Quantum Communications Harley will focus on strategy development, issue advocacy, political consulting and media outreach.
Harley is married and has four daughters (and a goddaughter!) and lives in East Petersburg, Pa., where he served as an elected councilman for 16 years.
