Get the advice and a playbook in place before you need it. When something breaks, you don’t get extra time because your comms weren’t ready. A regulator fine, an incident, a whistleblower, an online pile‑on; these things move fast. The question is not “will we ever have an issue?” It’s “how much damage do we do to trust and reputation when it arrives?” Most organisations discover, mid‑crisis, that: - No one is quite sure who signs off what. - Legal, HR, PR and Operations are pulling in different directions. - Leaders and founders are either silent or saying different things in every room. This service is about fixing that before you are in the headlines, or stabilising things quickly and rebuilding your reputation if you already are.

Senior‑level communications leadership. Funded startups, scaleups, regulated organisations and institutions often aren't ready to make a senior full time communications hire, or their in their in-house communications team may be over capacity or lacking in certain expertise. When you hire me as your Fractional Chief Communications Officer, you get a calm, experienced partner on your side, without the commitment of a full-time, permanent, recruitment. What a Fractional CCO is for: A board paper, regulatory scrutiny, a funding conversation or a restructuring plan lands on your desk, and suddenly every decision has three parallel tracks: - What this means in reality. - What you tell your people. - What the outside world will decide it means. Most teams respond with last‑minute emails, rushed talking points and crossed fingers. That’s how trust mostly erodes, not via one big scandal, but in a series of badly handled moments. A fractional Chief Communications Officer exists for those moments and more.
