I’m a strategic communications leader with a unique blend of executive communications, marketing, and talent acquisition experience honed over a dedicated 15+ year career at McKinsey & Company.Currently, I lead our McKinsey Career Network for Healthcare, Life Sciences and CHRO/Talent. I'm passionate about being a thought partner to executives as they identify their next career step, articulate their value proposition, and devise their job and networking search strategies.Throughout my career, I've built strong relationships and partnerships to help expand awareness and engagement with McKinsey across multiple different ecosystems. As an Advanced Professional Degree recruiter, I helped prospective candidates from top medical schools and universities learn about career paths at McKinsey. As an External Relations leader in the Marketing & Sales practice, I created cohesive communications to radiate McKinsey's thought leadership through speaking engagements at leading industry conferences, events, and social media. As the Head of External Relations for McKinsey's southern region, I built our local media-engagement program across six markets to increase share of voice. I'm energized by connecting people to opportunities and making things happen.Key Strengths: Communications Planning | Stakeholder Management | Relationship Building | Team Leadership | Public Relations | Media Engagement | Reputation Management | Internal & External Communications | Marketing | Branding | Social Media Marketing | Content Planning | Awareness Campaigns | Strategic Planning | Talent Acquisition | Recruiting Strategy | Talent Management | Career Coaching | Networking
