Betty Dunkerley’s soft landing
We wondered how long it would take for our favorite former Mayor Pro Tem, Betty Dunkerley, to land in a position of influence in the private sector. Dunkerley’s skills in public finance and consensus politics are legendary, and the City of Austin staff is probably already regretting her departure as they face a tight budget cycle.
I’m not well acquainted with Hahn, who purchased TateAustinHahn from Tate last year, but Kerry is a sharp and reliable public relations expert who I’d trust with brokering the right projects for Dunkerley (pictured here with a certain social columnist). She’s also shepherded some pretty raw young talent through her firm — the ones who graduate into the bigger business world demonstrate a sense of what the public needs to know, and when.
