Ponturo joins the firm in the dual role assisting Turkey Search, the company's executive recruiting arm, and its full-service research agency, Turnkey Intelligence, the company said Monday.
Turnkey Search’s new executive coaching practice will target brand, agency, property and media executives and owners, offering training in leadership, managing creative/content driven businesses, developing cultural values and personal brand management.
Ponturo will continue as director of industry relations for the NYU Tisch Sports Institute for Sports Management, Media and Business, where he serves as an adjunct professor, Haddonfield, New Jersey-based Turnkey said.
