NORTHAMPTON, Mass., January 22, 2024 /3BL/ - In a significant move reflecting its growth and evolving vision, 3BL, a leader in sustainability and impact communications, today announced the appointment of Charlie Wilkie as its new chief executive officer, with Dave Armon transitioning to the role of executive vice chairman, effective immediately.
Charlie Wilkie, who joined 3BL as chief business officer in 2022, brings a 15-year international career in media, impact marketing, and communications. His leadership has been pivotal in 3BL's recent milestones, including launching a new brand strategy and innovative new product offerings, revitalizing the TriplePundit editorial platform, and expanding the 3BL community. Wilkie's expertise and forward-thinking approach have been instrumental in steering the company through transformative times.
