Transform your organization's communications to get everyone rowing in the same direction
Customized workshops to level up your organizational communications
From the biggest brands in the world to start-ups, I've seen it all
I almost killed Barbara Walters. I taught NBA players how to do press conferences. I've worked with presidential candidates. I led communications through a company turnaround and pandemic and M&A activity (at the same time). That's just the start of some of my career stories.
From leading corporate communications at a Fortune 150 company to advising Web3 start-ups, I've seen a lot when it comes to communications. I bring those experiences to you with customized workshops that fix your most pressing organizational communications problems -- in less time and for less money than traditional agency and consultancy approaches.
