With over twenty-five years’ experience managing teams and projects in a range of industries and companies, I am a versatile, curious, and collaborative communications leader. Asking the right questions and listening thoughtfully helps me understand context and imagine or create possibilities. I’m adept at thinking things through from multiple perspectives—and that helps me uncover key issues and work toward a best-fit solution.Particular strengths are distilling complex topics into clear language (and sharp presentations), farsighted understanding, and bridging multiple perspectives. I have earned a reputation for harmonizing disparate concepts (or opinions) and finding a way to “sort out the mess.” I’ve worked in a range of complex industries (including biotech, aerospace, insurance, and manufacturing) and my enthusiasm for learning and ability to balance intuition, analysis, and creativity have been professional assets regardless of my role.
Professional experience includes developing and leading strong teams; shaping and communicating corporate narratives and brand messaging; creating and implementing processes that professionalized communications functions; and directly supporting C-suite leaders at several companies, including the CEOs of two Fortune 500 firms.
Listed skills include Strategic Communications, Corporate Communications, Internal Communications, Social Media, and 22 others.
