About Alison Patch
I use my LinkedIn as a sandbox for ideas - both in how to better leverage the tool for strategic communications and for philosophical interest in the role of narrative development for storytelling advanced technologies.I\'ve worked for more than a decade at the intersection of communications, policy and international affairs across sectors as varied as entertainment to emerging space and defense technologies. Specializing in communications strategy and cross-cultural stakeholder engagement, throughout my proudly non-linear career, I\'ve most thrived at tackling interdimensional, sticky problems by elevating the skills and passions of global teams and forging powerful partnerships. Today, I put all of these experiences to work by leading the communications strategy and media relations for America\'s leading provider of commercial SAR imagery, ICEYE US.Prior to joining ICEYE US, I led communications for a variety of emerging defense tech companies, including the world’s first international satellite launch company - Virgin Orbit. Previously, I also led communications strategy for a portfolio of companies operating in the former CIS and Europe and helped to develop and launch the Climate and Global Solutions practices for the leading public affairs agency APCO Worldwide.I began my communications career as a documentary filmmaker helping brands expand their audiences through visual mediums online. I currently live in Los Angeles with my husband and two wild and wily boys, a cranky rescue dog named Donna Moss, and a whole lot of native California plants. My passion for communications comes from decades of studying abuse in the communications landscape. I am committed to providing truthful, integrous, and meaningful stories as I translate emerging technologies and ideas to the public.Crisis CommunicationsIssues ManagementStrategic CommunicationsMedia RelationsInternational AffairsGovernment RelationsResearch and AnalysisStrategic PlanningProject ManagementPolicy CommunicationsStakeholder EngagementTeam Oriented
