Who I work with

Leaders, founders and boards bring me in when:

  • Mission‑driven, venture‑backed and revenue‑generating startups and scale‑ups.

  • Regulated or high‑scrutiny organisations in finance, health, justice and climate, plus ESG‑driven corporates.

  • Larger NGOs, foundations and international organisations with board‑level communications needs.

  • Founders, CEOs, Chairs, boards and selected impact investors supporting portfolio companies.

When to bring me in: - It's too early to make a full time director-level comms hire but you need strategic-level advisory. ​ - Founders, CEOs, Boards are managing sensitive issues, scrutiny or major change. ​ You are facing in-house issues that comms team are too stretched to deal with or need strategic support and advisory.
