What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead corporate and executive communications through transformation, reputation-critical moments, organizational change, and stakeholder engagement.

At CBS, I advised the CEO and executive leadership through M&A, post-merger integration, COVID-19, workforce reductions, national social issues, and headquarters relocation.

I led corporate, internal, B2B, and executive communications across advertising sales, distribution, consumer research, and CBS business units. I also served as primary speechwriter and messaging lead for the CEO, CMO, CHRO, and CRO, supporting media interviews, investor and board meetings, town halls, presentations, and earnings communications.

Previously, I led PMK-BNC's 30-person New York Brands practice, directing integrated communications for blue-chip brands including American Express and supporting Audi's corporate communications and crisis response work.

I've also advised clients at Edelman and independently across sports, entertainment, technology, streaming, sponsorship, and brand activation, helping organizations strengthen their narratives, partnerships, visibility, and stakeholder engagement.
