RONNIE Oliva

wife, mom, and company founder

As communication professionals look to navigate their clients through ever-changing, volatile and uncertain times, Sykes Global Communications has emerged throughout the years as a leading boutique PR agency for today's complex, technologically expanding and extraordinarily challenging world.

As founding principal and Chief Executive Officer of Sykes Global Communications, Ronnie has risen to the top of the proverbial call list for clients wishing to break through the cacophony of rapid and sustained informational stimulus and spin. Having successfully broken into a competitive, once male dominated field, she is one of the first women to start a political public relations firm in New York City.

Ms. Oliva has kept her clients’ names in - or out of - the news previous to, during, and since the COVID pandemic with an astute attention to public presentation and a preparedness to respond to an array of potential feedback. Quickly gaining recognition with local politicians, community and international leaders, Ms. Oliva gained respect with major marketing firms, corporations, and not-for-profits from Ghana, Africa, to New York City and Long Island, to Jupiter and Palm Beach, Florida.

Partnering with some of the country’s largest Public Relations firms and well known individuals since 2006, Ms. Oliva is known for promoting intellectual, artistic and demographic diversity throughout all of her projects from business ventures to crisis management.

In 2017, Ronnie married another highly acclaimed, successful political and PR strategist, Michael Oliva, prompting their professional merger to ascend the ladder of prominence among public relations professionals in New York City and surrounding states. Oliva is widely heralded as a bright and dynamic force in political campaigns and public interest ventures. Together in Sykes Global Communications, they have established a reputation as the PR firm for potential clients to call on when the going gets just too tough to handle.
