Fractional Communications Strategist for Founders & Leadership Teams
Your business has grown.
And your messaging hasn't kept up.There's a gap between the leader you are and the way your organization sounds — online, internally, and in front of a room. Your team is talented, but they're not telling a consistent story.
And you don't have time to fix it yourself.That's exactly what I do.
As your Fractional Communications Strategist, I become your senior communications partner.
Not a vendor or someone you hand tasks to.
I’m your strategic partner embedded in your leadership.
Helping you get clear on what you're saying, why it matters, and how to make sure everyone in your organization is saying it the same way.
I work with founders and leadership teams who need senior communications thinking without the overhead of a full-time communications director.
Retainer-based or project-based.
Built around what your business actually needs right now.
13 years in rooms where the wrong word cost something real.
I didn't start as a writing coach.
I started in corporate communications — crisis response at BlackBerry, change management at Navigant and Slalom, internal and external communications for organizations where clarity under pressure wasn't optional.
I know what a communications strategy looks like when it's built properly. And I know what it costs when it isn't.
What I bring to founders and growing companies is that same strategic rigor — without the bureaucracy, committee approvals, and the Claude-drafted press-release language that makes your reader fall asleep.
Your voice is your strategy.
I help you build both.
Your communications, finally working as hard as you are.
What we work on together:
Executive voice and thought leadership — articles, LinkedIn, speeches. Your LinkedIn, your newsletter, your keynote — they need to sound like you at full strength. Not polished into someone else or sanitized to sound like everyone else.
Messaging strategy and organizational alignment — what you say, where you say it, how often, and why.
Internal communications — how you talk to your team matters as much as how you talk to your customers. Culture, alignment, and trust are built in language.
Launch and campaign messaging — a new offer, a rebrand, a product launch. The words that carry it to market, consistent, clear, and built to convert.
Communications infrastructure — no messaging framework. No brand voice guide. No one owning the story. I help you build the foundation so everything you create from here is consistent and strategic.
Crisis and reputation communications — when something goes sideways, you need someone who's been there. I've managed crisis communications for global brands. I know how to move fast without making it worse.
Speaking training and presentation coaching — for you and your leadership team.
This is for you if —
Your messaging hasn't kept pace with where your business actually is
Your team communicates inconsistently — internally, externally, or both
You're stepping into a bigger leadership moment and visibility and need your voice to match
You have a high-stakes initiative coming — a launch, a pivot, a rebrand — and you need it to land clean
You're navigating growth, change, or a transition and your internal communications haven't caught up
This is NOT for you if —
You want someone to manage your social media calendar
You need volume over strategy
You're looking for the cheapest option
Two ways to engage.
Option 1: Retainer
For ongoing communications support
A monthly retainer gives you a consistent strategic communications partner. We define the scope together — what you need most, what we tackle first, how we work.
Most retainers include a mix of strategy, writing, editing, and advising. Some are heavy on execution. Some are purely advisory. We build it around your actual needs.
Starting at $8,000/month, 3-month minimum engagement
Option 2: Project
For specific communications challenges
A defined project with a clear scope, timeline, and deliverable.
Messaging frameworks, launch copy, voice guides, crisis communications, website copy — whatever needs to get done.
Priced by project scope.
Starting with a discovery conversation.
