Executive Communication Counsel

Clients routinely call my work magic.

Every week, my writing lands on desks at hedge funds and Fortune 100 companies. I’ve polished over 20 million words for investors and CXOs from London to Los Angeles.  

My CV includes English professor and accountant, translator and cabinetmaker, marketing director and assessment director. I’m also a landscape photographer and jazz trombonist, so I have an eye for detail and an ear for the right phrase in any context.

That breadth equips me to handle the full range of executive communication, especially when the content is sensitive and the stakes are high.

Need to chastise a European fashion mogul for being handsy? Been there. Need to wrangle 75 cantankerous stakeholders into unanimity around ten sets of departmental KPIs? Done that. 

As communication counsel, I ensure you convey gravitas, urgency, warmth, or SME as the occasion demands – while still sounding like you.

Because writing is thinking, I also pressure test your strategy. I restructure arguments, clarify ambiguity, and surface weaknesses that undermine your position.

I partner with a small number of clients on a retainer basis. That relationship allows me to learn your context and anticipate your needs.

Fast turnarounds are guaranteed. Confidentiality goes without saying.

From board decks to mission statements, you can trust me to land your message, safeguard you from reputational risk, and move your audience to action.
