Chief Of Communications
Chevy Chase, Maryland, Us
HHMI is the largest private biomedical research institution in the nation. HHMI scientists make discoveries that advance human health and our fundamental understanding of biology. The Institute also invests in transforming science education into a creative, inclusive endeavor that reflects the excitement of research. As a member of HHMI's senior executive team, I was responsible for driving reputation, operational effectiveness, and risk management. I set strategy, collaborated with leaders across a complex organization, and oversaw a team of communicators across internal and external communications, with tools that include websites, social media, digital systems, art, live events, advertising, and more. Our team emphasized outcomes-focused communication planning and consultative problem solving. Every day, we grew the organization’s capacity to communicate.
