Sonia Taylor

As a highly motivated and results-driven senior-level professional with the creative strengths and a comprehensive background in both external and internal communications, I have the knowledge and experience necessary to impact global audiences and create desired results.

As a summary of some of my more prominent professional strengths I offer:

-- Strategic support to C-level executives and senior management leaders involving tactical advice and recommendations on developing and delivering communications, building credibility, handling crisis communications, and participating in media interviews.

--Exceptional writing and editing skills and the ability to craft consistent internal and external messaging for global audiences that support HR initiatives and enterprise-wide business objectives.

--Proven strengths in developing and executing internal staff directives, internal announcements, employee communications, building morale and enthusiasm, and training/mentoring the team.

-- Strong focus in media relations, crisis management, brand building, educating a diverse population, and thought leadership programs.

-- Hands-on experience in communications for IT security and technology, investment banking, automotive, hospitality, retail apparel, supply chain, medical, and professional service firms.

My ability to think strategically and proactively execute programs has always been a driving force for my career. Curious in nature, I love books and travel, and read multiple newspapers and media sources that help me stay abreast of the latest technology trends. When I'm not involved with a major project, I spend most of my time training and competing my thoroughbred horse, Jet. I have successfully transformed him from an untrained racing machine to a very successful event horse, and look forward to taking the Mid-Atlantic's cross country courses by storm in 2012.
