About Lena Clark

About I’m a strategic communications consultant with a passion for helping organizations connect, engage and inspire. With over 20 years of experience in the energy industry, I specialize in internal corporate affairs translating complex business challenges into clear, compelling narratives that drive alignment and action. At Chevron, I’ve become a trusted counselor to executive leaders—supporting D&I, HR and global learning initiatives. I\'ve helped shape culture during mergers, and produced meaningful, engaging events that resonate deeply with employees. My work has consistently delivered measurable impact, from boosting message retention by 56% to increasing employee engagement and clarity during times of change. Previously at BP, I led internal communications for global learning programs, tripling portal traffic and expanding reach by 600% through strategic campaigns. I’ve also managed crisis communications, launched brand campaigns, and orchestrated town halls that employees called “the best we’ve experienced.” Whether I’m developing a CEO’s keynote, launching a new brand vision, or guiding employees through transformation, I bring a blend of creativity, empathy and strategic thinking to every challenge. I thrive on collaboration, and I’m energized by the opportunity to help people see their role in the bigger picture.
