Find the through-line. Build what lasts.
Twenty years of PR agency leadership, built for how brands actually operate today.
What I Do
Two Practices. One Through-Line.
Strategic Brand Communications & Executive Narrative
Positioning leaders and brands for the moments that matter.
Twenty years in high-stakes healthcare and brand communications - first-in-class launches, regulatory milestones, and stories that had to hold up under scrutiny. I bring that counsel to organizations that need senior-level thinking on a fractional basis.
- Core narrative and messaging frameworks
- Launch and milestone positioning
- Executive visibility and thought leadership
- Media strategy and story development
Example: Developed brand narrative and social storytelling strategy for a 40+ year heritage business — building audience engagement and establishing voice ahead of a full website and campaign launch.
Custom AI Workflows & Operations
Practical systems for businesses running on one person's memory.
Most small operations and lean teams lose hours every week to follow-up, inquiries and content that should run themselves. I find where the work bottlenecks, then build AI-enabled systems tuned to how you already operate - so the follow-through happens whether or not you're the one at the keyboard.
- Operational audit: where time and revenue are leaking
- Automated follow-up - inquiry response, missed-call recovery, post-visit outreach
- Content systems: one idea into a month of emails, posts and listings
- Hands-on setup and training, built to run without you
Recent: an Etsy/Amazon-based engraving business launched paid ads and now attributes 20% of revenue to the new system. New storefront coming soon.
