CollapseDescription

Having had a solid career, I can speak with insight about multiple perspectives and expectations in the communications and marketing arena – what it is like out on the fringe, as well as what it is like in the inner circle of management – for instance, from the professional association perspective of aerospace, to the strategic office of a government space or defense agency. And there are other examples of creating the integrated strategy versus executing it, and of understanding how the organization’s top-level strategy is only real, if well communicated.
