People rock my world. I have a passion for understanding what makes us as individuals tick – and what motivates and inspires and pushes people to act. It’s a constant curiosity and it’s one that serves me well as a strategic communications leader.I’ve spent my entire career helping companies – and leaders – build brand awareness, position products and drive organizational growth through communications and storytelling, working both internally in leadership roles at Intel Corp, Tripwire and SonicBlue and in global agency settings at WE Communications and Edelman on behalf of leading technology brands Microsoft, Autodesk, Tripwire, Columbia Sportswear, among others.An entrepreneurial strategist, I continually seek new ways – and employ new tools (AI) – to advance corporate reputation and growth, bring products to life and help executives build thought leadership. I achieve this by drawing on years of experience and expertise in devising and driving strategic communications programs and campaigns, aligned with my ability to motivate and guide individuals and teams that get results and drive impact.People, results, growth mindset and finding new ways to get inspired and creatively motivated are living at the intersection of AI, AI tools and Communications for me lately.
