To navigate complex political terrain and a rapidly evolving communications landscape, judgment and innovation are essential. But while much changes, it's still true that the best campaigns have clear goals and target audiences—and a compelling theory about how to reach those targets and change their behavior.

My passion is winning game-changing campaigns.

Let me put my decades of comms, advocacy, and leadership experience to work for you. I'll support your team in planning a campaign, managing its implementation, telling its story, or assembling the talent and building the organizational infrastructure needed to win.

I take on values-aligned projects where I can make a difference.

What I do: 

  • Strategy Development and Planning—getting input and buy-in from stakeholders, clarifying goals, targets, and theory of change, and identifying the resources and infrastructure needed to succeed

  • Campaign Management and Implementation—coordinating a team so everyone contributes they best they have to offer, ensuring smooth internal communication and adherence to deadlines, and adjusting plans as circumstances change, all while prioritizing maximum impact

  • Innovation—surfacing opportunities for new approaches that seize first-mover advantage in a rapidly evolving technological and communications landscape

  • Vendor Hiring and Evaluation—helping you build and maintain the strongest-possible team

  • Rapid Response and Crisis Communications—identifying and moving quickly to take advantage of timely developments and the news cycle, and navigating reputational threats to minimize harm

  • Creative Tactics—brainstorming and implementing tactics that help you "punch above your weight" by leveraging limited resources to get noticed and achieve results
