About Gladys Alcedo

What do you get when you cross a marketer who champions the customer with an avid marathoner? You get me – a strategic communications manager who:• plans and writes compelling and clear messages with precision and discipline;• drives and executes strategies with speed, efficiency and purpose;• thrives on tackling complex communications challenges; and• runs smart to log the miles to get the job done right, on time and across the finish line.From the time I was a newspaper reporter to now, a health care communications professional, I am focused on the customers and their perspectives. That means I work to:• increase my readers’ awareness by asking the right questions to write the real stories; • improve my customers’ experiences by simplifying and streamlining internal processes; and• advocate for my audiences by understanding who they are and what they need to know.Personally (and professionally), I’m guided by the principle of good stewardship: leave things better than I found on my posts: It\'s me, all me! All thoughts are my own. They are my personal opinions, observations and comments. They do not reflect those of any of my employers. And more importantly, my ideas are mine and are not AI generated. I do use artificial intelligence as my proofreader and copy desk, but I\'m the ultimate writer and editor of this original
