About Christian Harper

This includes working closely with and managing the media relations leads who oversee Technology, Security, Operations, Song, T&O, IndustryX, Supply Chain, TS & A and working alongside Alex Aizenberg who oversees Strategy & Consulting. My activities range from driving external visibility for key Accenture executives and major pieces of thought leadership to supporting various marketing and growth initiatives across key service areas and growth priorities of the business. In addition, I serve as the media relations lead for Innovation, overseeing all external media relations efforts on behalf of Adam Burden and other Innovation leaders across Accenture Ventures and Accenture Labs, as well as the global media relations campaign supporting Accenture\'s annual iconic Technology Vision report and our media presence at CES. I\'m a highly strategic, versatile communications professional with decades of expertise in building, enhancing and protecting the corporate reputation of Fortune 500s and new business start-ups alike. While working at some of the world’s largest, most respected public relations agencies, I represented and collaborated with top global consumer and business brands, as well as emerging challengers. During that time, I amassed a wealth of external and internal stakeholder communications skills to drive consumer and business brand visibility including, corporate positioning and storytelling, integrated media relations, thought leadership, executive visibility, financial communications, employee engagement and issues management. I am passionate about technology innovation and technologies that enable better ways of working and living, and contribute to making the world a better, more sustainable place to live - today and in the future. My other passions include music, drumming, literature, travel and sports. My specialties include: Strategic Media Relations, Executive Visibility and Thought Leadership, Corporate Brand Reputation, Brand Positioning, Brand Visibility, Content Development / Writing, Issues Management, M&A Communications, and Staff Development / Mentoring.
