Consultant in strategic communications, news insights and targeted digital content narratives @Independent
Verified
With a foundation in the rigor, high-stakes and immediacy of a top-tier news agency, I bring a journalism-enriched approach to strategic communications and editorial ownership, shaped by two decades covering geopolitics, economics, finance, tech and climate issues. My professional DNA is rooted in a breaking news ethos, editorial precision, agile writing, fact-checking, and the ability to swiftly decode complex contexts—skills essential in today’s context, where perma crisis, uncertainty and misinformation thrive, and organizations must project trust, clarity and authenticity. Over the past twenty years, I have experienced corporate and institutional communications strategies across all industries — with a unique set of skills enriched by missions as a journalist, lead editor, and strategic communicator and writer. I specialize in crisis response and reputation management, brand content, thought leadership, and fine-tuning formats and distribution with target audiences. Within the fast-evolving digital ecosystem, I focus on narratives that not only engage but establish lasting trust, positioning organizations as credible voices amid complexity. Technology has been a constant thread throughout my career, leading me to adopt transformative tools from social media and SEO to GenAI, as well as content innovation through a test-learn-scale framework, content audits, and metrics. Since the early days of mainstream LLMs, I have set up editorial guardrails to optimize content strategy while ensuring a safe and responsible use of AI. I currently teach those fundamentals to communictions and journalism students in higher educationMore...
