Trusted Solutions

Big ambitions need more than good communications.
They need people to understand, support and act.
 

For more than 20 years, I've helped leaders turn complex organisational priorities into results - securing stakeholder support, landing major transformation programmes, influencing policy, raising funds, changing behaviour and building trust.
 

From No.10 and the Bank of England to global businesses, regulators, technology companies and nonprofits, I combine senior strategic counsel with hands-on delivery.

Mobilised behind REGULATORY action

Dawn has spent her career working on communications where the outcome matters: government policy, regulatory change, digital transformation, organisational reputation, investment and high-profile crises.

That means understanding much more than communications. She understands the political, stakeholder, regulatory and reputational environments around decisions, and how to move stakeholders into action.
