Thought Leadership


In today’s chaotic environment, it’s critical to establish expertise and credibility. Speaking clearly and authoritatively creates a level of trustworthiness and establishes you as someone people need to pay attention to.

I’ve crafted effective thought leadership — including speeches, op-eds, blog posts, and white papers — for world leaders, C-level executives, nonprofit directors, and more. My work combines insightful data with engaging narrative, creating memorable pieces that engage, resonate, and spur people to action.

I’ve written for myriad organizations, internationally known leaders, and publications including:
