She has also supported MIT\u2019s annual GRAND HACK and participates at SXSW and other digital events.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas will be responsible for taking BCW\u2019s strong global technology practice to the next level and expanding its depth through unique offerings, cross-practice teams and integrated campaigns for clients and the industry at large.<\/p>\n<p>She will be an active leader with focus on client counsel as well as developing intellectual property and services for BCW that will strengthen the agency\u2019s offering and bring it to new heights. For North America, Thomas will build, broaden and nurture the client teams and help integrate the practice with other areas of expertise to build new offerings.<\/p>\n<p>Before joining BCW, Thomas was Global Technology Practice Chair for APCO Worldwide and spent years building a health technology offering for Edelman. In both roles, Thomas was responsible for meeting market demand with integrated communications solutions that lived at the intersection of technology and global business disruption. She has specialized in emerging technology, across disciplines and industries, and is a trusted advisor to well-known venture capital firms and start-ups. She has built unique diagnostics and communications tools to help traditional enterprises rebuild their infrastructure, culture, talent pool, products and processes to evolve, thrive and win.<\/p>\n<p>For the last several years, Thomas has researched the global talent war burdening businesses around the world, spearheading strategy to better understand developers and the highly technical workforce. This has helped her technology teams optimize content and channel strategies to attract and retain quality talent, with higher velocity, as their businesses evolve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe moment I spoke with the team at BCW I knew instantly that there was a real hunger coming from Donna and Chris to move quickly, and in some cases re-design solutions based on new collective resources,\u201d said Thomas. \u201cBusinesses today need integrated campaigns, built on the backbone of sophisticated technologies and subject matter expertise, analogous with their own industries. BCW has incredibly strong leadership that\u2019s already thinking big, is experimenting and merging talent and is now adding new variables, new people, new creativity and new sophisticated tools to exceed expectations and meet market demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12352\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12352\" style=\"width: 890px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Burson_Cohn-and-Wolfe_BCW_logo_cabecera.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12352\" src=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Burson_Cohn-and-Wolfe_BCW_logo_cabecera.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Burson_Cohn-and-Wolfe_BCW_logo_cabecera.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/Burson_Cohn-and-Wolfe_BCW_logo_cabecera-768x274.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12352\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"> Burson Cohn &amp; Wolfe new logo officially launched today. \u00a9 BCW.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI was searching for someone who has the energy and vision to propel our global strategy forward and lead in this highly competitive practice area,\u201d said Donna Imperato, Global CEO, BCW. \u201cWhat is so striking about Michael Ann Thomas is that she is not bound by convention.
