With 30 years in senior public relations and communications, I’ve built in-house, agency, and freelance experience across Europe, the US, and Asia. I specialise in managing corporate and individual reputation and brand awareness in the B2B technology sector, working with global leaders like Oracle and Salesforce. I’m skilled at cultivating networks among journalists, analysts, and industry stakeholders to drive strategic messaging and narrative control, and I’m a versatile writer across a wide range of content formats. Since 2012 I’ve run Artechulate UK Ltd as an independent business owner, focusing on executive ghostwriting for B2B technology clients such as Google Cloud, Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow, Arm and Palo Alto Networks, and on sustaining senior executives’ social media profiles by creating and publishing content on X, LinkedIn and blogs. I’ve also led public relations campaigns and crisis communications, and I bring a practical, collaborative approach to strategy, content planning, and events that helps organizations articulate their message while protecting and enhancing their reputation.
