Senior comms leader with nearly 20 years of both in-house and agency experience, including the world’s leading PR firm and some of the hottest tech companies on the globe. I’ve spent my career crafting and executing communications and public affairs campaigns for some of the biggest and best brands, shaping narratives and influencing stakeholders to affect change, drive policy and meet business objectives. I understand the intersection of business and government and know what it takes to pass regulations and change policies, and I thrive on the challenges that come with the territory. But smart communications is not just an exercise to garner attention or raise awareness. Effective PR must have a business case, complement an organization’s overall strategic direction, and work to achieve its shared goals.As global head of public affairs at DoorDash and, previously, Lime, I've built and managed world-class teams in markets around the world responsible for sharing the our story, defining the narrative and shaping policy comms. At Pandora, I led our public affairs work and directed comms to launch new products and rebrand the company. With Uber, I was part of the early team responsible for introducing ridesharing to cities, elevating the brand and implementing communications strategies that led to the passage of new legislation in dozens of states and municipalities. I’m passionate about what I do and take pride in my work. I’m committed to winning, embrace leadership roles, and seek the opportunity in every challenge. It's this attitude that drives me to innovate, build and learn every day. I welcome invitations to network and discuss potential opportunities.
