Summary
I make people and organizations more valuable through enhanced communications. I'm an interim leader for agencies and in-house teams and prepare executives on how to nail interviews, present powerfully and command a room. Here's why you should invest in communications and reputation: A recent World Economic Forum study found reputation informs 25%+ of a company's value. But curve balls and crisis situations can deflate that reputation (and value). I am on speed dial for agency and in-house comms operations who need an experienced brain to lead, train and inspire teams. I activate decades experience, strategic thinking, agility, pattern recognition, world class editorial abilities to lend perspective and dial in stakeholder communications, particularly in the tech and media industries. Respected leaders at public companies and successful start-up founders rely on me to cultivate and protect reputations when it matters most. A positive reputation is priceless and when it's done right, it's pays dividends. Here's how: * It builds credibility from having 'banked' positive news coverage and published thought leadership come fundraising or M&A time; * It creates buzz that attracts talent when it's time to scale up and hire; * The right social media strategies, well-timed bylines, white papers and securing spots on the right stages can drive leads and put a company on the consideration list; * It's instrumental in preparing for high stakes/high value forums (e.g. a CEO's appearance on CNBC); * It provides air cover and a tailwind when revenue teams go to market with a new product or service. * it can save a company's value when thing go pear-shaped and you need a steady, experienced hand to lead a crisis response. I turn emerging media, sports and tech companies into enduring brands, and transform C-Suite execs into thought leaders. I combine a valuable network, deep expertise, and strategies developed from working with the most innovative brands on the planet. Emerging companies on the cusp of worldwide expansion tap me to rethink, redesign, recruit and train the team and refresh agency partners.
