Zeno Group announced today the appointment of agency veteran Leah Katz to lead Zeno East, overseeing teams in New York and Washington, D.C. 

Katz joins Zeno from FleishmanHillard in New York where she established a proven track record of sustaining growth, managing global teams and cultivating a culture of high performance. Katz has over 20 years of industry experience, across health, consumer, corporate and digital capabilities.  

“Leah’s fresh vision, dynamic leadership, and unwavering commitment to culture make her a smart choice to drive Zeno East forward,” said Grant Deady, Zeno U.S. president. “With deep agency experience, a global perspective, and results-oriented mindset, Leah is poised to help our clients and teams navigate today’s complex business environment.” 

Katz will report to Deady and serve on the agency’s global leadership team.

“When competing against Zeno, I was always impressed by their creativity, purpose-driven leadership, and impactful work,” said Katz. “Our industry is undergoing a transformation, and I couldn’t be more proud to join the leadership team of such a fearless future-focused agency.”

Cheryll Forsatz, who previously served as Managing Director Zeno East, will be departing the agency for a new opportunity later this month.
