After a decade navigating high-stakes communications—from guiding Pfizer and Moderna through COVID-19 to reframing WeWork's narrative during its SPAC IPO and building XPO's image through major spinoffs—I saw an opportunity to do things differently. Traditional agencies weren't creating meaningful connections. In-house teams lacked the outside perspective to shift perceptions and win hearts and minds. Today, I partner with founders, CEOs and leaders who are genuinely excellent at what they do. My approach is simple: step into my clients' shoes, understand their vision for making a difference and position their stories within broader cultural and economical conversations.
