Experience

I have developed a deep, local, regional and global experience in “market-shaping” that is: creating the relevant and favorable environments to optimize business growth. To deliver my results, I use a mix of lobbying, public/government/corporate affairs, communications, advocacy, crisis and reputation management.

Major Achievements

Throughout my expansive career, I have been responsible for developing and directing strategic Corporate affairs, marketing shaping and business development initiatives for leaders across the transportation, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, energy, tobacco, and automotive industries. I have advised C-level executives, members of Congress, and government officials on European, health, international and defense affairs, and served as Research Director for a D.C-based thinktank. I offer a rare skill set that provides the expertise to oversee all aspects of strategic planning, policy development, business development, and operations management. Please consider the following highlights of my qualifications and achievements: • As Senior Director of Communications & Public Affairs, I have developed strategies and led initiatives for clients in across the health, energy, transport, environment, climate change, and political sectors in Europe, China, the Middle East, and Africa, built coalitions with international business and advocacy groups and global media organizations, and crafted PR and policy campaigns and programs that directly supported organizational initiatives. • I successfully managed international operations and drove business development in key emerging markets, overseeing communications, public and government affairs, advocacy, and investor relations across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and India. • Finely tuned communication and relationship building talents, with the proven ability to lead teams to achieve ambitious objectives in fast-paced, fluid environments; extensive formal education including degrees and certifications in law, management, foreign service, communications, and government relations.
