What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can own global internal communications and engagement strategy—partnering with executives, using analytics to drive results, and building clear enterprise storytelling that accelerates adoption.

I’m a global internal communications and engagement leader with hands-on experience across enterprise messaging, executive visibility, and worldwide content strategy. I translate complex business priorities—including AI-enabled transformation—into clear, actionable narratives that strengthen culture and drive measurable impact.

Most recently at IHG Hotels & Resorts, I led global internal editorial and communications strategy in partnership with executives and people leaders. I implemented KPIs and analytics to drive a 25% increase in employee engagement and improved positive communications sentiment from 74% to 86%, using engagement survey data, participation metrics, and channel analytics.

Earlier in my career, I developed internal communications strategies for physician networks at Piedmont Healthcare, improved physician engagement by more than 30% through leadership connection initiatives, and earned a 2019 “Campaign of the Year” recognition. Across roles from Florida Blue to Assurant and Kaiser Permanente, I’ve built scalable content processes, conducted content audits and governance, and supported multi-channel stakeholder and marketing communications with a strong focus on clarity, consistency, and adoption.
