About Adam Parken

My sweet spot is positioning organizations to capitalize on industry transitions and inflection points.I ran cybersecurity accounts for a public relations firm when viruses transitioned from file corruption to identity theft. I owned PR and industry analyst relations for a global telecoms company when cell phone usage evolved from voice and text to data. I then worked in travel as app-based mobility options exploded. Most recently, I drove clean energy communications and content for electric vehicle charging and solar energy.My public relations and corporate communications expertise spans messaging for external and internal communications, PR campaigns, product launches and executive interviews. I have more than 20 years of success securing business and trade press coverage. I have people management experience in the U.S. and Germany.
