Dave Senay – 2015
Dave Senay joined FleishmanHillard’s St. Louis headquarters staff in 1984 as an account executive. In the 32 years that followed, he quickly rose through the corporate ranks, serving as a group leader; as general manager of the St. Louis office; as regional president for the Central U.S., for Canada, and for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He became president and CEO of the firm in July, 2006, the third in its 70-year history, a position he held until he stepped down and became special counsel to the firm in 2016. In 2011 Dave was inducted into the PRNews Hall of Fame. He also served two terms as Chairman of The PR Council, and was named “PR Professional of the Year” in 2014 by PRWeek — the same year it named FleishmanHillard “Global Agency of the Year.”
