Experienced strategic leader with an extensive network in both the for-profit and non-profit arenas. I have a strong belief in real connection and relationship building as a pathway to more productive business models. My background in reputation management and crisis communications has led me to the realization that transparency and a corporate culture based in service leadership leads to lasting excellence..., while shortcut based methodologies lead to unsustainable and illusionary growth.My goal is to help venture capital and private equity investors build strong ROI into their portfolio while supporting a strategy that fosters a brand enmeshed in corporate social responsibility, diversity, inclusion, innovation, and individuality. The current market demands that businesses engage in #CSR practice... but simply acknowledging the effort is no longer good enough. At its best, smart philanthropic endeavours are integrated into your corporate mission and add to your #TripleBottomLine - a better world, better people, and a better profit margin. When I'm not working, you can find me on a lacrosse field somewhere in the world (or, perhaps, sailing or skiing - depending on the season).Specialties: Corporate Social Responsibility, Philanthropy Management, Reputation Management, Crisis Communications, Non-Profit and Public/Private Partnership support within venture capital, private equity, legal, and professional organizations. Other competencies and Experience: Government Relations, Public Relations, Media Relations, Cause Brand Marketing Integration, Grassroots Organizing for Policy Initiatives.
