Bio

I am an analyst and communications expert with more than 30 years of experience helping advocacy organizations, companies and individuals to address important public policy and business challenges. My work has spanned areas such as logistics, energy, financial services, information technology and others. Many of my assignments involve analysis of complex and controversial political matters. I help plan communications campaigns and am ready to turn on a dime to address breaking news stories to ensure that the positions of those I serve are prominently showcased. This includes writing and publishing Op-Eds on short notice, arranging news conferences and developing relevant talking points, participating in public hearings and related legal proceedings and forging alliances with other important stakeholders. Often, I am on the front lines with the media. I speak with and correspond with reporters and editors almost daily. News outlets using my quotes and articles include the Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Hill, National Public Radio, Associated Press, The New York Times, New York Post and others. I am adept at working with social media, particularly Twitter. In addition, I often collaborate with others involved in critical communications, including attorneys, lobbyists, candidates for office, investor relations professionals, advertisers and graphic and website designers.
