For more than 20 years, I've built and sustained communities of influencers including press, analyst and industry leaders to positively impact organizations’ brand leadership and growth. My longtime interest in science, technology and making a difference is the foundation for my career — promoting companies, organizations and technologies that are improving, innovating and discovering ways to create higher worth in business and the community. Through my media relations expertise, I've secured high-visibility coverage for my clients in national and international news outlets including the New York Times, NPR, USA Today, The Guardian, MIT Technology Review, ABC News, and local newspapers, TV, radio and top tier trade publications. I enjoy collaborating with advertising and marketing agencies and in-house communication teams.I've directed clients through a range of transitions from IPOs to company and product launches to crisis interventions. I've represented corporations such as Agere (now LSI), Software AG, Agilent, Analog Devices, Cisco’s ICSG Division and The Learning Network. I've worked in-house and on the agency side. I founded a consultancy, served as partner at Arcand & Madison and was a vice president at Porter Novelli (NYSE:OMC).
