Former Ohio governor spokesman takes talents to Kroger
CINCINNATI — Kroger has named Keith Dailey as the company's external corporate communications director.
According to the company, Dailey will oversee national media communications for Kroger, which operates 2,458 supermarkets and multidepartment stores in 31 states under two dozen local banner names.
Serving as the spokesman for such a large company should come easy to Dailey. As the communications director for former Ohio governor Ted Strickland, Dailey likely had his fair share of media issues to tackle.
