HKA Hires Orton as New Chief Marketing and Global Business Development Officer

Date: Jun 10, 2021 @ 07:00 AM

HKA announced that Linda Orton has joined the firm as Partner and Chief Marketing and Global Business Development Officer based in the firm’s New York office.

Orton will take over HKA’s global and regional business development and strategic marketing initiatives and will report directly to Chief Executive Officer Renny Borhan.  

“Linda is a deeply experienced international marketer with a track record of delivering successful strategic marketing and business development initiatives, as well as managing high-performing teams,” said Renny. “Linda will be responsible for strengthening HKA’s client focus, elevating HKA's global brand, expanding its service offerings, and growing revenue.”    

Orton joins HKA from Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), where she was a Managing Director and Chief Marketing Officer for the past five years. While at A&M, she institutionalized disparate marketing and business development activities across the firm’s global offices during a high-growth period when revenue doubled. Linda also spearheaded various successful initiatives, including launching digital and video campaigns, creating and implementing a global pitch tool, defining business development and sales training, and creating an analytical framework and dashboards to demonstrate return on investment.

Orton has over three decades of experience at leading global professional services firms.  She has led digital transformations across marketing, business development, and client service functions. She has also overseen major shifts in recruitment and retention by elevating global brands through social media content, targeted advertising, and using data in holistic ways.

“This is a brilliant time to join HKA,” said Linda. “As the world opens again and investment in infrastructure increases, the opportunities for our professionals to help resolve conflicts and improve projects through the smart usage of data, analysis, and strong people skills will increase.

“I am delighted to become part of HKA's collaborative, intelligent, and caring culture and to better serve our clients and anticipate their needs,” added Linda.
