Consultant, journalist, broadcaster and New York Times bestselling author, based in Washington DC. My byline has appeared in every major UK newspaper and international titles as varied as TIME magazine, Vanity Fair, People, The Spectator, Paris Match, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and the National Catholic Reporter. I am a published authority on corporate and personal branding, addressing conferences worldwide as well as events at the US State Department, the American University and the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. I also write, present and advise on factual and drama programs, appearing on every major US network as well as international platforms. I was a consultant to the award-winning Netflix series The Crown.I am a founding partner in JephsonBeaman, a boutique communications consultancy specializing in international high-profile, sensitive and UHNW services. With more than twenty-five years’ experience in the government, luxury and family office sectors, my portfolio has included globally-admired brands as well as national agencies and NGOs. I have also worked on reputation and legacy briefs with European, Middle Eastern and Asian families, including royalty. I owe much of my practical administrative and communications experience to Princess Diana, who chose me to be her equerry and only private secretary/chief of staff. I served the Princess for eight years (1988-96), responsible for every aspect of her public life, worldwide humanitarian initiatives, and private organization. Under relentless media scrutiny, my tenure covered the period of Princess Diana’s greatest popularity as well as the constitutional controversy of her separation from Prince Charles. Born and raised in Ireland and holding a Master’s degree in Political Science from Cambridge University, I am a keen amateur historian, my ancestors including notable courtiers to Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and William III. As an officer in the British Royal Navy, I served all over the world before being selected for royal duty. In March 2015 I became a naturalized citizen of the United States. .
