Amy Hutchins joins WesleyLife on Monday, May 3, as CMO for WesleyLife. In this newly created role, Hutchins will provide senior leadership, strategic direction, and ongoing support for marketing, sales, branding, and communications for WesleyLife. She will oversee the planning, development, and execution of WesleyLife’s marketing and sales initiatives for all services, and will share responsibility in achieving outcomes relative to current services and delivering marketing and sales strategies that support organizational growth.
