Robert Leaf

Chairman Robert S Leaf Consultants

Robert Leaf is the father of PR. Having spent over 50 years in the business, Leaf has witnessed many important changes to the industry. Beginning his career in 1957 as the trainee at Burson-Marsteller’s New York office, he travelled around the world and in some countries, opened their first PR offices. Leaf says: “I think my major accomplishment was spreading PR throughout the world. I started the first PR in Russia during the Cold War...[and]...I signed an agreement in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing putting the Chinese Government into PR for the first time.” He became chairman of Burson-Marsteller in 1985, and is the chairman of Robert S Leaf Consultants. He is one of the most knowledgeable counsellors in international public relations.
