CurrentElevating the Center for Audit Quality (CAQ) to new heights, I spearheaded a transformative journey and skillfully navigated a strategic rebranding initiative, aligning the CAQ with novel goals and a forward-thinking direction. Collaborating closely with the Governing Board and executive leaders, I crafted a compelling vision that not only set the strategic trajectory for the organization but also fueled transformative changes across the broader auditing profession.By fostering credible relationships with key stakeholders, I successfully heightened the visibility of our policy priorities and initiatives in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Initiating and executing dynamic outreach strategies, I reshaped perceptions and significantly enhanced the organization's credibility. Cultivating robust relationships across policy, investor, governance, and other communities, I strategically positioned CAQ for impactful engagement on critical policy issues.At the helm of dynamic campaigns addressing vital policy matters, I reshaped perceptions around ESG reporting, financial regulations, and the assurance role in capital markets. Notably, I led the strategic efforts for the groundbreaking $60 million Accounting+ campaign. This landmark initiative not only set a benchmark for diversity and inclusion in the accounting profession but also garnered measurable, award-winning success. Throughout this transformative journey, I directed multiple teams across public affairs, communications, marketing, digital, and stakeholder engagement, ensuring high performance and delivering impactful results.
