About Bill Price

Throughout my career, I\'ve worked closely with leaders across the C-suite on how we could use communications to inspire colleagues, intrigue the media, attract investors and explain strategies that would drive our success. My interest has always been translating complex business strategies and situations into clear and compelling narratives; helping stakeholders understand and connect to a company’s purpose and point of view; and guiding companies through thorny issues and potential crises with experienced communications counsel. Quite simply, I help companies build, promote and protect their reputations: • Building new corporate brands for spinoffs like Zoetis, the world leader in Animal Health, and the former Lucent Technologies, an architect of today’s advanced communication networks. • Promoting the companies and profiles of more than a dozen CEOs, CFOs and other executives with their colleagues, investors and media. • Protecting the reputation of some of the world’s most well-known companies and brands like healthcare icons Novartis, Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer, and legendary R&D pioneer Bell Labs. I thrive in fast-paced, complex organizations competing in highly regulated industries like healthcare and technology. I crave the excitement and demands of start-ups that are building their businesses and need communications expertise to help them take their next step. And, I enjoy being a trusted consultant, working with a range of companies on strategic situations, reputation management and financial communications. No matter the role, my goal remains the same: to help organizations and leaders communicate with clarity, purpose, and impact. My Skills and Specialties Extensive experience in strategic planning and execution of reputation building programs that support company goals. Expertise in financial communications, strategic situations and complex crises. Trusted counselor on executive communications strategy, presentations, speechwriting and media interviews. Skilled specialist in media relations, using sound judgment and deep relationships to influence news. Talented writer and creator of corporate narratives and messaging. Track record of developing highly effective colleague engagement programs during periods of change. Proven leader of creative, high-performing teams.
