Advisory
Counsel for moments when policy and reputation are on the line.
I work selectively with companies, associations, advocates and firms facing regulatory change, public scrutiny or both. The work draws on 15 years of doing this from the inside.
Policy & regulatory communications
Explain your position on pending legislation or rulemaking in terms that regulators, reporters and the public will take seriously.
Crisis & issues management
Preparation before an issue breaks, and a steady hand when it does: scenario planning, holding statements, decision support.
Litigation communications
Communications that run in step with legal strategy, protecting the case and the reputation together.
Government affairs strategy
Stakeholder mapping, coalition-building and message development for engaging in Sacramento and beyond.
Reputation & public trust
A clear read on how you're perceived, and a plan for closing the gap between how you operate and how you're seen.
Executive preparation
Briefing and message preparation for testimony, media interviews and high-stakes stakeholder meetings.
How I work
Senior attention and a short line of sight.
Engagements are scoped to the problem. That might be a single briefing, a defined project, or ongoing advisory support through a legislative session or a live issue.
I'm based in California and focused on it, but I bring perspective from national and international policy environments.
