Con Edison announced earlier this month that Jamie McShane has been named director of media relations for the company, succeeding Michael Clendenin, who is retiring on June 1 after serving as director for 20 years.
McShane, who currently serves as senior vice president for the Real Estate Board of New York, will start his new role at Con Edison effective May 1. Prior to his tenure at REBNY, McShane served as director of communications for the New York City Council and was an Emmy award winning producer at several news outlets including NY 1 News, WNBC, and CNN.
McShane is a lifelong resident of Sunnyside, Queens where he resides with his wife and children.
Clendenin has been with Con Edison since June of 2000, after serving as communications director of the New York City Council under then-Speaker Peter F. Vallone. Prior to that, he worked in public relations for Connelly & McLaughlin and at WEEI-CBS radio in Boston, MA.
