With over 30 years experience in marketing and communications, I believe in building relationships and trust by providing candid advice to clients on the strategies that best align with business objectives, and by being hands-on in the creative process that delivers results.
I launched my career in New York and Washington DC with several years in consumer media, including promotion and public relations director positions with Newsweek, US News & World Report and The Atlantic magazines. Following a move to San Francisco, I was corporate communications counsel in a broad range of industries from telecom, consumer goods, education, financial services, law, and wine. My focus in corporate communications and reputation management included developing and implementing programs for organizations at important moments of change: launches, marketplace shifts, executive transition, crisis, IPOs, divestures, mergers and acquisition. For 10 years, I was strategic counselor and, ultimately, Executive Vice President for global PR firm Edelman.
My current interest is with small to mid-size businesses and non-profit organizations developing websites, collateral marketing material, email marketing campaigns, events and social media communities that increase the audience for their products, causes and work.
