Functional Communications
Functional Communications to Seamlessly Align with Corporate Communications
Great leaders need communications that influence, elevate and amplify the corporate narrative; not just inform stakeholders of the fundamentals.
​​
Communications should work directly with every C-Suite, Business and Functional leader across an organization, but sometimes there isn’t any bandwidth left to do that. Yet, each leader has their own perspective to bring to the corporate story and I am here to support a cohesive big picture.
​
What This Could Look Like :
-
Medical Affairs: Translate scientific strategy and evidence generation into clear, credible value stories for internal and external audiences.
-
Cybersecurity: Craft incident response comms, executive FAQs, and proactive education materials that balance transparency and control.
-
Legal: Navigate sensitive issues, investigations, and regulatory shifts with precision, protecting reputations while preserving clarity.
-
HR: Drive cultural alignment, policy change, and leadership visibility in ways that inspire trust and reinforce values.​
​
When there are multiple pieces in the puzzle - I make sure they all fit.
