Based in Los Angeles, Rim will lead all aspects of AECOM’s global corporate communications, including corporate brand and reputation management, public and media relations, thought leadership programs, employee communications and engagement initiatives, crisis and issues management, and social media and digital communications. She will also partner at the corporate level to advance strategic marketing, philanthropy, community relations, government relations and financial communications. Rim will report to Kevin Lynch, executive vice president and chief strategy officer.
Rim will join AECOM from Avery Dennison — a global leader in labeling and packaging materials and solutions with over 25,000 employees in more than 50 countries around the world. Since 2010, she has led corporate communications initiatives in support of the company’s transformation to a more externally focused and sustainable enterprise, and currently serves as vice president, Global Corporate Communications.
Prior to Avery Dennison, she was vice president of communications for the Disney ABC Television Group, where she designed and implemented global communications strategies to inform and engage employees across the company’s entertainment and news television groups. Previously, Rim held corporate communications, marketing and investor relations roles at companies including WellPoint Health Networks, Countrywide Financial Corporation and KPMG.
“Heather brings substantial communications experience, demonstrated business results and strong leadership skills to help advance AECOM’s vision to be the world’s premier, fully integrated infrastructure firm,” said Lynch. “In particular, Heather’s experience in executing programs to support business transformation will be a valuable asset as we continue to build AECOM’s global brand and an aligned, collaborative and client-focused culture that sets the industry standard for professional and technical excellence.”
An active member of the Los Angeles community, Rim serves on the boards of the United Way of Greater Los Angeles and the Downtown Women’s Center. She is also a member of prominent professional organizations for senior communications executives, including the Arthur Page Society, The Seminar and The Forum-Group. Rim holds a master’s degree in communications management from the University of Southern California and a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Azusa Pacific University.
