About Anastacia Visneski

Impossible? Never! This has been my mantra since, well, always and it’s likely the reason I’ve become a go-to expert in all things crisis communications and crisis management — with a heavy dose of high visibility operations. My background consists of making huge changes to organizations that are resistant, even allergic, to change — finding that middle ground to get to the solution without anyone feeling completely left behind. I’ve literally written the book on unconventional leadership (coming soon!) and believe that if you plan for everything to be a crisis, then you can avoid things becoming a crisis. With over a decade of service in the US Coast Guard, I was a qualified Type 1 Public Information Officer, overseeing crisis communication responses for major disasters from Hurricane Katrina to the BP Oil Spill. I also proudly launched the first mobile app for the Coast Guard (now, that’s a story!). I credit my success in the military to my unusual ability to think differently and try things. I bring a unique brand of honesty to problems, cutting through the noise to the central issue to address it and I live to build flexible adaptable resilient people systems in order to fix the unfixable.Previously as Head of Launch, Blog, and Podcast operations for Amazon Web Services, I built their Critical Event Protocol, a comprehensive crisis response plan including internal and external communication operations. Then as Principal for Global Disaster Response I oversaw the technical operations for applying AWS technology to disasters including Hurricane Dorian and the COVID19 pandemic, developing a comprehensive crisis management plan.I currently teach Crisis Communications at my alma mater (I’m a triple Husky), the University of Washington in Seattle for the Communications Leadership Graduate School.When I’m not finding new ways to apply technology to crises, I play video and tabletop games (Cult of the Lamb, Balder’s Gate 3, Pandemic) and also help design tabletop games (currently working on two). A soon to be published author, I’m writing the best picture book for grownups. And, since I live in the PNW, I hike and do all the mandatory PNWer outdoor stuff with my hubs and three dogs: Pixel, Z and Morrigan. A huge Seahawks fan, I’m also a proud inaugural season ticket holder of the Seattle Kraken. Additional certifications and qualifications include:ICS and NIMS certifiedType 1 PIODefense Information SchoolAWS Cloud Certified
