Nearly two decades of experience in the private and public sectors helping organizations identify and seize new opportunities by leveraging marketing, communications, and public relations strategies. With a focus on identifying market inefficiencies and aligning organizations around a common strategy and value proposition I have led growth initiatives in the U.S. and in more than a dozen other countries.In 2008, after spending time teaching political science at some of the best universities in the nation, I started my own business that expanded into commercial real estate, public affairs, and analytics. Our consulting services helped organizations and individuals more fully leverage their brand and political influence.Prior to my current position leading the marketing, communications, and entrepreneurship development efforts at one of the largest and most diverse public colleges in the nation, I led the international expansion efforts of a process solutions provider to the oil and gas, chemical processing, and wastewater management industries.
