With over 20 years of public and private experience in communications, marketing, and public affairs, I am passionate about shaping the narrative and impact of innovative and mission-driven organizations. As the Head of Marketing, Communications, and Public Affairs at Waymo, I lead a team of professionals who are responsible for telling the story of Waymo's safety-driven vision, cutting edge technology, and transformational product to diverse audiences and stakeholders. I also mentor aspiring entrepreneurs and leaders at Techstars Boulder Accelerator, where I share my insights and expertise on building and scaling successful businesses. Additionally, I am a member of Mixing Board, a community of brand and communications leaders who exchange knowledge and mentorship with each other and other organizations. Some of my skills include strategic communications, media relations, crisis management, brand marketing and public affairs. I have been recognized as one of the best PR people in the tech industry by Business Insider and a champion of PR by PR Week Magazine. I am driven by curiosity, collaboration, and creativity, and I enjoy working with talented, creative teams who are committed to making a positive difference in the world.
