DRIVING BRAND GROWTH
Welcome to At the Helm Consulting. I’m a Fractional Chief Communications Officer for organizations who don’t have full time communications leadership and need a strategy for brand reputation success, along with mentorship and guidance for their team.
I specialize in executive coaching and market visibility, positioning and differentiated messaging, and strategic communications during enterprise transformation and market inflection points that enhance reputation and drive profitable business growth.
I also coach founders, entrepreneurs, and C-Suite leaders on how to build their brand, earn trust and raise their industry profile to fuel awareness and demand.
PROVEN TRACK RECORD
I am known for leading turnarounds, building high impact teams and revitalizing category leaders like Autodesk, StubHub and IBM Consulting.
Don't let the big brand names intimidate you.
I succeeded in large technology companies because I wasn’t afraid to tame the chaos, influence through cross-functional collaboration, and move with the speed and urgency of an entrepreneur.
I’m the Communications Leader you call when growth has slowed, competition is fierce, investor pressure is mounting and you need to get your market mojo back without increasing headcount.
