Consulting
I work with companies at inflection points — launches, pivots, crises, and the moments before everything changes.
Thirty years building the communications infrastructure for companies taught me one thing: the right story at the right moment is a strategic asset, not a support function.
What I'm brought in for
#1
Messaging architecture, narrative development, media training, and speaker preparation for founders and C-suite leaders who need to own the room — and the headline.
#2
Special situations require a different kind of thinking. I've been in the room for the hard ones. Rapid response strategy, stakeholder communications, and reputation recovery — without the agency markup.
#3
The companies reshaping how we live need communications that keep up. I understand the technology — I build with it — and I know how to translate it for the audiences that matter.
Startups and growth-stage companies that need senior-level strategic communications. CEOs and founders who are brilliant at what they build but know the story — and the strategy — needs help. Communications teams that need a senior outside voice for the critical moments.
How I work
No retainer theater. No junior team doing the work while a senior person shows up for the pitch. You get me — directly — on a project or retained basis depending on what the situation calls for.
I also bring something most communications consultants don't: I'm an active founder. I'm building AI consumer apps, running Almost Intelligent™, and teaching the next generation of communicators at Fordham. That's not background texture — it changes how I see your problem.
