About Tracey Hester
Throughout my career and what I love to do is to elevate brands in the eyes of key stakeholders. This includes designing opportunities for effective engagement by working independently or with trade associations and coalitions to protect and advance interests. I am an expert level advisor who has advocated for priorities in every state, federally and at the local level. I craft and contribute to policy in emotionally charged environments by focusing on commonalities to cultivate impactful coalitions and stakeholder brand love.
