I put companies on the map. I’m a self-motivated, energetic, entrepreneurial-minded professional with over 25 years of experience in corporate strategy, business development, public relations, and journalism. I craft competitive market positions, articulate value propositions, and accelerate company growth. Agency and Client Management: I’ve held key positions in public relations, executive image management, and employee relations at both agencies (Cunningham Communication, GCI Group) and leading technology companies (Dell, Novell). Managed staff, formed strategy, coordinated multi-division teams, launched campaigns, tracked results, built brands and grown revenue. Entrepreneurial Experience: I’ve been a key member of start-up business launches four times (Fortigo, Wired magazine, c|net, Windows magazine) with a strong track record of attracting talent, increasing sales, building media awareness, reducing costs, and streamlining operations in a wide range of situations. Leadership: I’m skilled in management, brand building, and improving profitability. I’ve created innovative products and programs throughout the U.S. and internationally, and helped build premier distribution networks. I have the ability to interact with executives with confidence, and to provide advice on their communications that reflect an understanding of their business and leadership style.
