Corporate Communications Leader
Corporate communications leader with 15+ years of in-house experience shaping narratives for global organizations — advising C-suite executives, building award-winning programs, and driving measurable business impact across media, advertising, and technology.
I'm a corporate communications leader with 15+ years of experience across media, advertising, and technology. Most recently, I served as Vice President of Corporate Communications at Zenith, part of Publicis Groupe, where I partnered with the U.S. CEO and executive leadership team to shape integrated marketing and communications strategy across a 1,500+ person organization.
Prior to Zenith, I spent five years at IPG Mediabrands, rising to Vice President and leading global corporate communications across IPG Mediabrands, MAGNA, and Initiative — overseeing executive communications, media relations, internal communications, and thought leadership for a network of 18,000 employees worldwide.
Throughout my career I've operated as a strategic advisor to senior leadership, translating business priorities into clear, compelling narratives — and building programs that drive new business, strengthen reputation, and earn industry recognition including at Cannes Lions and the Effies.
I'm currently exploring my next move, with a focus on transitioning to an in-house brand environment where I can deepen my impact from within a single organization.
Above all, I'm an empathetic leader who excels at building and strengthening long-term relationships with executives — keeping their business and communications goals at the center of everything I do.
Crafting speeches, op-eds, and messaging frameworks that give senior leaders a clear, consistent, and authentic voice with internal and external audiences.
Developing the overarching story of an organisation — its purpose, strategy, and values — and translating it into compelling materials for every channel.
Guiding employees through periods of transformation with clear, empathetic messaging that builds understanding, alignment, and trust from the inside out.
Building media relationships, shaping press strategies, and preparing spokespeople to engage confidently with journalists across print, broadcast, and digital.
Helping organisations respond swiftly and thoughtfully to reputational challenges — protecting trust while keeping stakeholders informed and confident through even the most high-stakes situations.
Building and protecting brand equity through proactive reputation strategies — monitoring perception, shaping narratives, and aligning communications with long-term business goals.

Alongside my search for the right full-time opportunity, I'm available for freelance and fractional engagements. I work with brands, startups, and agencies that need senior communications expertise without a full-time hire.
