Currently EVP and U.S. Chair of Earned Media at Burson, where I lead 40+ strategists across Corporate, Healthcare, Tech, and Consumer practices, advising Fortune 50 CEOs and executive teams on enterprise narratives, media relations, crisis response, and reputation strategy.Previously, I shaped communications for high profile clients on the West Coast at Mercury and Actum. Additionally, I spent 15 years in network news (CBS News, ABC News, Yahoo! News), producing live coverage and advising on high-pressure storytelling at scale. This unique blend of newsroom urgency and corporate counsel allows me to anticipate issues, craft integrated strategies across paid/earned/owned, and deliver narratives that resonate across stakeholders from investors and media to employees and consumers.Recognized as a trusted advisor, industry thought leader and builder of high-performing teams, I am passionate about aligning communications to business goals, modernizing functions for today’s fractured media ecosystem, and helping executives connect authentically.
