I specialize in high-impact, high-reward public relations and brand communication strategy for investment funds, venture capital firms, and startups of all sizes. My expertise lies in strategic media relations, executive positioning, and reputation management, helping financial leaders and businesses craft compelling narratives that build trust and drive long-term brand value.
As Brand & Communications lead for a $90M+ Venture studio, I lead strategic communications, brand marketing and public relations for a diverse portfolio of impact-driven startups— spanning AI, enterprise tech, and finance. In addition to this role, I lead marketing and communications for a private portfolio of tech and AI startups.
Before these roles, I served as Chief Operating Officer for a New York City public relations agency, where I advised major corporate clients, including Meta, Instagram, NBCUniversal, and private equity-backed brands.
