What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead corporate and executive communications that protect and grow reputation—guiding C-suite counsel, running earned/owned/digital and PR campaigns, and managing teams to deliver measurable media, sentiment, and stakeholder outcomes.

I’m a Senior Communications Manager with 7+ years of progressive experience in Corporate Communications, ORM, Reputation Management, and Integrated Brand Strategy. I counsel C-suite leadership, direct multi-channel Digital & PR campaigns, and lead cross-functional teams of 10–15 professionals to build organisational narratives aligned with business objectives.

In my current role, I’ve improved stakeholder visibility by 30%+ across media and digital channels and boosted campaign delivery efficiency by 25% through structured planning and accountability. I track media narratives and digital sentiment across 50+ publications to anticipate risks and enable proactive crisis communication responses, and earlier work increased positive share-of-voice by 35% and delivered 5M+ influencer campaign impressions.
