Hotwire Announces Promotions and New Leaders Amidst Rapid Company Growth

SAN FRANCISCO & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hotwire, the global tech communications consultancy part of Enero, has hired Stephanie Livingston as Vice President of Finance and Yinka Robinson as Vice President, Client Services; and promoted seasoned B2B leaders, Erin McCabe to Executive Vice President, and Yasmeen Phillips and Kelsey Quickstad to Vice Presidents as company growth continues to accelerate across North America.

“Continuing to expand our depth of talent and expertise is critical to nurturing the culture we’ve built. It allows us to keep pace with industry trends such as the increasing intersection of policy and technology and turn these changes into opportunities,” said Heather Craft, co-president of Hotwire. “We’ve had a very successful year and that’s because of our incredible team. These promotions are a direct reflection of the work our ambitious leaders are doing to solve complex business challenges every day.”

New Leaders Add New Expertise to Support Company Momentum

Stephanie Livingston brings more than 15 years of finance and operations expertise in marketing, advertising, and public relations industries, including roles at Heat Advertising, Camp+King, Venables Bell & Partners, and Resource Interactive. She has spent the past five years as an executive consultant including working with Peet’s Coffee & Tea and Levi Strauss & Company. As part of her new role, Livingston joins the Hotwire North America executive team.

Yinka Robinson’s experience spans strategic communications, public policy, and marketing efforts for the U.S. House of Representatives, Fortune 500 companies, and start-ups. Most recently she served as the Managing Director of Communications and Regional Public Affairs at Teach for America and prior to this, as the External Affairs Manager for Texas Central High-Speed Railway. As the intersection between technology companies and policy makers becomes increasingly high stakes, Robinson will be bringing her insight from working in public affairs to help clients develop the right positioning and profile to set themselves up for success.
