I support a Fortune 250 CEO and other C-suite executives with regard to content development and communications. But my ultimate responsibility is to help more than 85,000 Marsh McLennan colleagues around the world do their best work — and make a difference on behalf of their clients, communities and one another. Every day I strive to fulfill this responsibility by:• Creating clear, compelling, purpose-driven communications that inform and inspire• Developing consistent and disciplined messaging that reflects the voice of the CEO• Using all available formats and channels to create visibility and engagement for key messages• Telling stories that make colleagues smarter about the work we do across our company• Being a highly collaborative, creative, responsive, positive and energetic teammate and leader• Remaining calm and focused, even under the tightest, most pressure-packed deadlines

I led a team of marketing and communications specialists focused on producing thought leadership that showcases the expertise of Marsh, a global leader in insurance broking and risk management. I wrote speeches, keynote addresses and other executive communications for senior leaders. I developed communication programs and materials (for both external and internal audiences) that supported the company’s strategic imperatives and major initiatives. I acted as a trusted advisor to our executive leadership.

I developed and managed a full range of internal communications and marketing programs for Citi’s Institutional Clients Group, a collection of five businesses comprising more than 65,000 employees. I leveraged multiple channels and vehicles — including intranets, email, digital/social media, Town Hall meetings, and on-site video monitors — to engage employees globally at the business level, while ensuring alignment with Citi corporate messaging.

I developed and implemented communications programs that articulated strategic initiatives in an engaging way and supported brand positioning. I wrote and edited superlative copy. I nurtured a robust network of partners (from graphic designers to lawyers) throughout the organization to manage multiple projects and deliver on tight deadlines. I advised senior leaders on communications issues and opportunities.

I helped build a strong subscriber base for an online property that delivered industry news and innovative practice-management tools to financial advisors. I relied on formidable writing and editing talents and interpersonal skills to manage a staff of seven writers, create compelling content, and launch a sister print publication (a monthly newspaper with national distribution).

I created, pitched, and delivered everything from traveling video reports for national broadcaster MuchMusic (filed during a seven-month, 40-city trip across Canada), to a fully interactive sports-reporting series for CBC Television, to a slew of articles on a variety of subjects that appeared in national publications such as Maclean’s, Chatelaine, The Globe and Mail, National Post, Canadian Living, and Applied Arts.
