About C. Michael Zabel
A proven driver of reputation, perception, awareness, brand—and results—locally, regionally, and nationally, I joined Trysail Strategies in August 2025 as Director, and support clients through public diplomacy, strategic communications, public and media relations, and crisis communications.I served for more than twenty years as Head of Corporate Communications at M&T Bank. My team\'s award-winning work helped make M&T one of the most highly regarded institutions in its industry and in its communities. In total, I\'ve spent more than 30 years in senior public relations positions, including as Press Secretary to the New York State Attorney General, as well as to two Members of the United States House of Representatives in Washington, D.C. Recently, as an independent marketing and communications consultant, I supported Launch NY, leveraging my unique skill set to help start and grow early-stage startup companies across Upstate New York.
