Fort Lauderdale-based PPI Group appointed Kathryn McCullough to the newly created role of associate vp, port shopping programs.

Reporting to Bill Jordan, svp sales and marketing, she is responsible for day-to-day management, implementation and enhancement of the shopping programs.

Most recently, she was director of strategic marketing for a healthcare company and coordinated all aspects of training and professional development for approximately 800 team members as well as planning and executing marketing communications projects.

'I’m ready to hit the ground running and look at the port shopping program with a fresh set of eyes, enthusiasm and ideas,' McCullough said.
