I work with founders and leadership teams to shape how a company is understood, what it becomes known for and what it says when the stakes are high.

For close to two decades, I’ve done that inside companies growing quickly and attracting attention just as fast. At Airbnb, I led communications across international markets through rapid growth and regulatory scrutiny. At Nothing, I led global communications, working closely with its founder as the company built its voice and reputation in one of the world’s most competitive consumer categories. Today, I lead communications across EMEA for Epic Games.

That experience covers corporate reputation, policy and crisis communications, product launches and culture-first consumer campaigns, including extensive work on AI narratives and product messaging.

Sometimes a company has outgrown the way it talks about itself. Sometimes there’s a difficult issue to navigate. Sometimes the idea is good but the story isn’t there yet. I like getting close to the problem early, asking the questions that sharpen it and staying involved until the work is done.

Alongside my role at Epic, I advise a small number of founders and leaders on company narrative, reputation and public voice. If you’re working through something important and think I could help, get in touch.
