PRESS RELEASE: Donna Hall Joins Robertson Lowstuter

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Donna B. Hall Comes Out of Retirement to Lead Executive Coaching Firm, Robertson Lowstuter

(April 15, 2024) — Donna B. Hall, former publisher of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and a seasoned media executive, has come out of retirement to lead the executive coaching firm, Robertson Lowstuter. The firm was recently acquired by The Center for Sales Strategy (CSS), and Hall will now lead the newly-acquired division as part of the CSS portfolio of brands.

Hall brings with her a wealth of experience from her 35-year career in media with Cox Enterprises, where she held various leadership roles across traditional media platforms, including 25 years in the radio division. Her passion for leadership and people development, honed over years of managing sales, marketing, research, news, content, and P&L, makes her an ideal fit for this role.

Through her years of honing media skills, with most of those running clusters of radio stations, her greatest passion was the leadership of people. “Helping others grow and develop was, by far, my favorite thing about being a leader in each of the positions I held,” said Hall. “My hope and goal is to have a similar, profound impact on others that my coaches have had on me in my career.”

After retiring from Cox in April 2022, Hall completed advanced certifications in Executive Coaching and has guided other leaders through her coaching business the past few years.

Matt Sunshine, CEO of The Center for Sales Strategy, expressed his excitement about the new appointment. “We are thrilled to have Donna join our team. Her extensive experience and passion for developing leaders make her a valuable asset to our organization and our clients.”

Carolyn Lowstuter, R|L Senior Consultant, remarked, “Donna Hall makes the perfect bridge between our two firms. With her 30-year history as a client of CSS with Matt Sunshine as her lead sales consultant along with her executive coaching certification and expertise, she can embrace both worlds of CSS and R|L. You will find her to be smart, resourceful, warm and engaging, and committed to doing the right thing for the right reasons for clients…always. We are so pleased to welcome her.”

"We've worked with LeadG2 since 2015 and will continue working with them...no end in sight. Not only are they positive, inspiring, responsive and fun to work with, they have transformed our business. We consider them partners and trusted advisors. They help us with our complete inbound marketing strategy from beginning to end, and since starting, we have tracked and attributed well over a million dollars in new revenue and have blown past all our key success metrics. We recommend LeadG2 to anyone... except our competition. "

Inbound Marketing Consultant

"The Up Your Culture program was pretty much perfect and aligned with our needs. All the feedback from our leaders has been wonderful. I wish I had this type of structure when I led a market. I did it on my own and didn’t have a road map. Being given a roadmap but being able to customize it to the needs of each market, like Up Your Culture does, is extremely valuable. "
