I co-founded Clarity Global Strategic Communications to empower clients to communicate clearly and effectively. We provide strategic advisory, writing and editing services, as well as training. My work as a global strategic communications adviser is informed by decades of experience as a journalist, editor and trainer in the United States, East and Southern Africa, and South Asia. Over the past 15 years, I’ve specialized in public financial communications. This has included working with a range of governments, such as South Africa’s National Treasury – an organization whose budget documentation is consistently ranked in the top three worldwide – and the International Monetary Fund. Across our private, public, development finance, and civil society clients, Clarity applies consistent principles to support clear communication of complex ideas. The motto we developed 17 years ago remains our professional benchmark: We deliver with clarity, simplicity and integrity.
