Jim Kenny

Advisor and Consultant in Lakewood, Ohio

I help mid-market, investor-backed, and mission-driven organizations use brand, media, and narrative discipline to accelerate growth, shorten funding and sales cycles, manage change, and strengthen stakeholder trust. I have served as interim CMO/Chief Communications Officer and senior communications leader across healthcare, financial services, SaaS, education, and professional services. My work is often engaged at inflection points—during rapid growth, restructuring, leadership transition, or reputational risk—when clarity, discipline, and executive counsel are critical. My approach combines strategy with execution, governance awareness with creativity, and business fluency with deep communications expertise. I am frequently retained by private equity firms, portfolio companies, and leadership teams seeking enterprise-level outcomes.
