Accomplished business communications pro with breadth and depth of experience in marketing, public relations and internal communications. Special abilities in global communications, change communications and leading collaborative teams. I bring to this a previous life as a widely exhibited filmmaker and artist, and a published journalist. I've co-owned a consultancy, done product development in scrappy startups and run a department in a huge multinational business services firm. And I've taught tennis, which means I have patience. It all fits together. Making films is great preparation for project management. Business to business dealmaking gets you ready for a large, highly matrixed organization. Teaching tennis segues easily into mentoring staff. Every kind of writing makes you better at every other kind of writing. It seems to have worked. Ziff-Davis, Rockefeller Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, American Film Institute, Jersey Shore Public Relations & Advertising Assoc., Pennsylvania Council for the Arts, Western States Foundation, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, California Cable Television Assoc. and National Endowment for the Humanities have all seen fit to give me an award at one point or another, which was nice of them.
