Strategy Drives Narrative.
Narrative Clarifies Strategy.
A smart conversation about communications is a conversation about strategy–who to reach, and when, and how, and why. I’ve been a journalist, a 4x founder with 3 exits, and Head of Communications, so I understand your journey from every angle. By reframing your startup to match story and audience, I bring a fresh perspective to help you create long term success.
