Simone Thomas, Pcc, Cpcc, Mba possesses expertise in media relations, marketing, corporate communications, strategy, public relations and 28 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "Simone is one of the most positive and creative professional, I know. She is solution-driven communications leader and strategist, who inspires her colleagues and teams with her keen business acumen, astounding creativity and a mindset that says anything is possible. She is a visual thinker and knows how to emotionally connect to every person in the conversation. Simone earned the confidence of our executive leadership and as a result her counsel is regarded and followed. It’s awesome to work with Simone and she is a valued asset to the organisation." and "I was fortunate enough to meet Simone early on in our MBA program at the Gabelli School of Business. We spent countless hours working together on initiatives for the Black & Hispanic MBA Association, however, it was Simone who took the lead in elevating the quality of our organization’s marketing materials, effectively raising the bar on visibility and [academic leadership’s] support of our organization. It has been more than 10 years since our work together with BHMBAA, but over the years I’ve seen (and fortunately reaped) the benefits of her deep capacity for true professionalism and poise, founded on a staunch drive for effective communication. Those who know Simone would attest that regardless of audience (e.g., social, academic, marketing, or other professional networks, etc.), Simone’s attention to detail – in written, spoken, as well as nonverbal capacities – is unwavering. Her leadership style is a barometer for thoughtful communication, but most importantly, demonstrated impact. In my role as a pursuit manager for high-stakes consulting opportunities, I call on Simone regularly for reassurance and guidance, and she very graciously always makes the time to help. Having Simone makes me a better professional, and I’d be lost without her!"
