During my 25+ years of combined strategy communications, economic development and journalism experience across the US, Canada, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East, I have advised at the highest levels on projects with multinational corporations, multilateral financing institutions, nongovernmental organizations, and non-profits in a wide range of industries, such as telecoms, energy, agribusiness, tourism, the arts, charities, and humanitarian aid. I practice marketing communications not as a specialization but rather as a collection of skills and disparate knowledge brought together when building proactive reputation campaigns, creating and embedding narratives or executing complex change communications programs. I assist high-profile brand repositioning activities in media relations, crisis management, internal communications, stakeholder management, content production, and leadership coaching.As a former business journalist with major news organizations, I work with subject matter experts to transform complex business and financial information into explicit, crisp content for editorial products that make an impact across audiences. I am also a certified ESG specialist with knowledge of investment perspectives, disclosure and reporting standards, corporate and board governance, social activism, and public environmental law.I have had fun wearing all kinds of hats and not being afraid to make my hat collection my brand. Not getting bogged down in labels and embracing a sort of professional fluidity has been an exercise in freedom.My keen interest in geopolitical dynamics, just sustainability, business innovation and economic development equals my swotting detours into literature, music, the visual arts and architecture. I like to think that one common thread running through is the ability to offer and simultaneously extract value in each circumstance and that I’ve somehow kept true to a creative identity.
