One of my first mentors always asked about brag-worthy work. “C’mon, you know you have something awesome to talk about.” It’s true. I still cheer when a spokesperson nails an interview, the final creative is unveiled or KPIs are achieved. An opportunity to tell my client's story never gets old. My experience working with corporate and agency teams to launch and promote B2B and B2C brands has taught me how to quickly identify shared goals, build winning content strategies, engage the media in dialogue, and remain committed to thinking big – even when faced with small budgets and tight timelines.

With over 20 years in global communications, I help build cohesive, audience-first strategies that align business objectives with stakeholder priorities. By integrating earned, paid, and internal channels, I craft consistent narratives across investors, regulators, employees, and the broader industry. These efforts support reputation management and enable senior leaders through critical initiatives, such as quarterly earnings cycles. Previously, I directed communications for PayPal’s merchant services and blockchain units, leading global teams to enhance awareness and reputation. By leveraging media relations, strategic storytelling, and data-driven campaigns, we achieved measurable outcomes like double-digit brand lift and industry-leading engagement rates. My focus remains on empowering organizations to build trust, amplify their vision, and navigate complex market landscapes effectively.
