It's how we build connections and establish trust with those who depend on us. It's all about telling the right story - at the right time, via the right channel, to the right people. Sometimes it's not the story we want to hear, but when backed with facts and delivered against the banner of transparency it can become a story we appreciate, and remember, hearing. It can become the story that inspires the actions that drive meaningful change for everyone around us.I can help you tell your story.𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘏𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴:» Joined TD Ameritrade as one of five communications practitioners and progressed to become the Head of Communications overseeing a team of 50+. » Spearheaded creative storytelling, PR, media relations, crisis communications, investor relations, and employee communications through TD Ameritrade’s journey of organic/inorganic growth, culminating with its integration with Charles Schwab. » Created multiple Centers of Excellence (COE) to optimize communications functions across multiple stakeholder groups, including new-to-firm programs for crisis communications, corporate social responsibility, and the enterprise digital workplace. » 20 years of experience as a direct C-Suite and Board of Director advisor, influencing business decisions, corporate culture, crisis response, and M&A integrations. » Led TD Ameritrade’s communications and marketing efforts through disruption (restructurings, the Financial Crisis, COVID-19, and an industry pricing shakeup).
