Allow me to change the way people think about your business. I am a dynamic and innovative communications expert and strategist who has risen to top leadership positions in demanding, competitive environments. I have conceptualized and launched global corporate initiatives, marketing communications campaigns, crisis communications plans, and public relations campaigns driving growth and impacting bottom lines for Sims Limited, Norwegian Air Shuttle, JetBlue Airways, and more – all of which have increased public awareness and impacted millions of people. To grow profitably and sustainably, having a strategic marketing communications plan is essential. Do not overlook this "need to have" service in favor of technology and finance needs because of budget constraints! Hire me as a fractional chief communications officer instead.
