Communicate - Connect Challenge - Corporate

I help build connectivity, generate linkages, promote reflection, provide thoughtful challenge and provoke change.

My 20+ years of experience working with corporate sector clients shapes my coaching. I bring to the table the following:

  • Deep technical skill and subject matter expertise in strategic communications,

  • Corporate experience in reputation building and relationship management in developing countries,

  • Comprehensive understanding of including external risks into business strategy,

  • A disposition to multi-disciplinary, analytical thinking and an independent perspective. Technical environments do not faze me.

I have extensive experience in advising and supporting senior executives through my corporate and consulting work
