About Michael J. Paoli

For more than 30 years I’ve helped organizations recover and strengthen reputation following challenges brought on by terrorism, aircraft disasters, humanitarian crises, national labor disputes, financial trouble, executive malfeasance, crime and environmental mistakes. I’ve trained, coached and supported leaders on topics throughout the communication and public relations spectrum, and in corporate responsibility, governance, organizational efficiency and process improvement. I currently help public and corporate leaders and their management teams improve organizational effectiveness – ranging from organizational structure to performance management – with an overall emphasis on employee, stakeholder and public communication. If you or your team is grappling with communication, reputation or organizational improvement challenges, I’m interested in helping.
