Bio
I am a commercially driven corporate communications and marketing professional with practical experience across the US, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Europe. I have proven skills in developing and implementing regional communications campaigns that build brand awareness and mobilize customer/public support.
High result orientation and extremely business focused. Possess strong leadership and cross-cultural stakeholder management skills.
I love the communications discipline as there are so many dimensions to the role: trusted advisor, developing messaging that resonates with each key stakeholder, media relations, executive communications, crisis communication, and employee communication. It is truly my passion.
I'm passionate about
Education, politics, gender equality and the power of effective communications!
An idea worth spreading

Areas of expertise
Corporate Communications, Digital Communications, Executive Communications, Media Relations\, Stakeholder Mangement, Strategy Development
The TED story
I went to TEDxShanghai in 2015. I appreciated that the content was delivered for an international audience. The theme was The Power of X, and it staged multinational speakers addressing an array of topics. And now, our education setting wants to start the discussion in the Netherlands about re-imagining education.
