NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#CEO--Today, M Booth Health named Stacey Bernstein its new CEO on the heels of the global health communications consultancy’s strongest performing year marked by double-digit growth and multi-million dollar account wins. Current CEO Tim Bird becomes Chairman as he transitions into a consultative role.

As CEO, Stacey will oversee the fast-growing firm, helping navigate the complex commercial, policy, and advocacy environments facing its clients, while innovating ways to enhance the agency’s 25+ year track record advancing landmark developments in health.
