Haven Tower Group LLC – an award-winning, full-service public relations agency focused on the financial services sector – today announced the appointment of Michael Dugan to the role of President & Managing Partner. Mr. Dugan joined Haven Tower in May 2012 and most recently served as a Partner.

These appointments are the culmination of Haven Tower’s recent ten-year growth strategy – which successfully concluded at the end of last year – and establish a robust organizational foundation for the firm’s next stage of client service-driven expansion.
Mr. Kuo said, “Haven Tower’s decade of continuous growth is a function of our commitment to delivering an exceptional service experience to our clients, above all else. This success is also a testament to our firmwide culture, which rewards conscientious, team-oriented professionals who are innovative, think strategically and share a highly disciplined work ethic. This approach has allowed us to build truly long-term relationships with our clients, who recognize our diligence in actively managing their most valuable assets – their brands and reputations.”
“Michael Dugan and Mitch Manning have proven themselves to be exemplary representatives of our client service-driven culture and mission. Over the years, they each have steadily assumed more and more responsibility, garnering praise from clients while partnering on a very collegial basis with each member of our organization. I congratulate Michael and Mitch on their well-deserved promotions and commend our entire team for their support in our past ten years of success together. Most importantly, I thank our clients for their ongoing support, and I look forward to all that we can continue to achieve on their behalf.”
