ID PR vice president Alla Plotkin has left the company.

Plotkin, whose clients have included Bette Midler, Sarah Paulson, Holland Taylor, Jake Gyllenhaal, Nicholas Braun, Michelle Williams, Titus Burgess and Jessica Williams, has not announced her next move. She had been with ID for almost 16 years.

At the same time, ID PR announced that 20-year company veteran Rebecca Sides Capellan has been promoted to senior vice president. Her client list includes Lupita Nyong’o, Rachel Weisz, Natasha Lyonne, Lena Dunham, Cynthia Nixon and Broadway producer and theater owner Jordan Roth.

Plotkin’s departure follows recent resignations of ID PR senior vice president Jillian Roscoe, vice presidents Lindsay Krug and Rachel Karten and director Amanda Horton.

Kelly Bush Novak launched ID in 1993. She serves as CEO while Mara Buxbaum is president. The company of 100 employees is headquartered in Los Angeles. It also has an office in New York City.
