New Marketing Chief at Van Kampen


It may be a cold and wintry day across most of the United States, but that never stopped a true marketing officer from getting the job done. Or getting the job in the first place. In Chicago, Illinois, Van Kampen Funds has tapped David M. Swanson, 42, to be executive vice president and chief marketing officer.

Swanson will be charged with the marketing and advertising for the entire mutual fund product line at the firm.
