Institutions don’t earn trust by accident, and they don’t keep it by chance either. Trust is built — and protected — through clear strategy, disciplined communication, and the judgment to know what a moment actually requires.

For over a decade, I led corporate advisory and crisis communications work for organizations navigating high-stakes moments: reputational risk, public scrutiny, mergers, and the kind of pressure that tests whether an institution’s values hold up under stress.

Specific skills include:

  • Crisis communications and risk management counsel
  • Reputation strategy for executives and institutions
  • Strategic partnership development and stakeholder communications
  • Exiting a crisis with a clear path forward to build a stronger, more resilient reputation
  • Investors can be effective champions for competitive, integrated employment for persons with disabilities across the private sector by equipping themselves with relevant and impactful information and data. Photo Credit: Mark Lennihan/AP

  • In March 2021 Senator Harkin and I wrote a Bloomberg op-ed arguing NASDAQ's proposal to increase board diversity was flawed as it did not consider the value persons with disabilities brings to boards of directors.

  • My letter to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) provides a number of concrete recommendations for how the SEC can help investors and policymakers better understand how disability inclusion to drives both shareholder and stakeholder value.
