D.F. McLEAN

Always striving for more. 

In the past year Don McLean quickly rose to be the media relations lead and one of the foremost B2B insurance communications experts in the FleishmanHillard Detroit office – a top 3 PR firm. Prior to that, he worked at Airfoil Group in Royal Oak where he assisted in the launch of the first Microsoft Innovation Center in the U.S. in Miami. Recognized for his efforts, Don was presented with the Most Outstanding Young Alumni award from Madonna University in 2012, and in 2017, he was asked to join the Forgotten Harvest Emerging Leaders Council – a 501c3 supporting families in the Detroit area with food insecurity. In April 2018 – at 32 years of age – he was recruited to join MMS – a global, leading clinical research organization – to be their Sr. Manager of Global Marketing & Communications overseeing these functions across four continents in the pharmaceutical industry. His communication style across professional services firms has earned the respect of industry thought leaders with recommendations on LinkedIn saying they were “impressed with his ability to think strategically “ and “he is the person who younger employees look to for guidance, and senior leaders look to when they need results.”
