Ms. Hahn, 40, left the newspaper as director of retail advertising in December 1996 to become advertising director of the Shreveport Times. The Enquirer and Shreveport Times are owned by Gannett Co. Inc.
Ms. Hahn, a native of Buffalo, N.Y., said she was looking forward to working again with former colleagues at the Enquirer.
"We had a quite a team going when I left," she said.
Ms. Hahn succeeds Ronald C. Capretta. She will report to David L. Hunke, executive vice president of marketing. She will oversee anadvertising sales and production staff of 225.
Ms. Hahn brings 15 years of advertising experience to the job. She is a graduate of Medaille College and started her newspaper career at the Lockport Union Sun and Journal north of Buffalo as an account executive and eventually was promoted to classified advertising sales manager there. Next, she worked at the Buffalo News, first as an account executive and then telemarketing sales manager.
She first joined the Enquirer in 1988, working her way up from account executive to major accounts executive, then metro sales manager, major accounts sales manager and retail advertising director.
Ms. Hahn was advertising director at the Shreveport Times between January 1997 and June 1997. Her family moved to the Cleveland area to become partners in a Toyota dealership.
Ms. Hahn's husband, Chris, plans to start an automotive consulting business in Cincinnati. The couple has sold their interest in the Cleveland dealership.
Ms. Hahn is looking forward to coming back to Cincinnati for personal reasons as well as professional ones.
"Cincinnati is home to us," she said. The couple's two sons, Peyton, 6, and Schuyler, 2, were born here.
