From 2007 to 2019, I led communications for the Merck Manufacturing Division of about 20,000 people in 23 plants around the world, providing strategic counsel, creating executive, corporate continuity and crisis communications, leading an agency's re-branding of the manufacturing division’s strategy, and helping keep the focus on safety, quality and employee engagement.

Earlier in my career at Merck (MSD outside the U.S. and Canada), I helped launch the emerging markets organization and later led communications for the commercial division’s Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa Region.  

Before Merck,  I led communications for a sales force experimentation program at AstraZeneca, a compliance effort at Independence Blue Cross and a sales team messaging project at Microsoft. My earlier experience teaching and working as a journalist informs my consulting. I am a fully-insured Limited Liability Corporation.
