Oil Patch Bits: Lottsfeldt diversifies firm with new COO

With the recent addition of lifetime Alaskan and political conservative Geneva Walters as its chief operating officer, Lottsfeldt Strategies said in October that it is “venturing in to new markets, and broadening its political capabilities.” The company said Walters strengthens Lottsfeldt’s “service offerings by bringing with her a unique perspective on strategic communications and stakeholder management” and that her “12 years in Alaska’s oil and gas industry has earned her a reputation as a skilled project manager with a commitment to efficient execution and the ability to influence key stakeholders through effective communication.” Agency principal Jim Lottsfeldt will remain chief executive officer and creative director.
