About The Last Word

It’s simple: at The Last Word, I help you connect with the right audiences at the right time with the right messages. I bring experience, tactical execution, intuition, and the knowledge of what is working right now so you’re achieving your goals, whatever those may be.

Having led executive communications at companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Lockheed Martin, I know what it takes to make you stand out in the noise. We’ll combine creativity with strategy and data to build distinct positioning that still reflects who you are.

Most importantly, whether you're a seasoned executive, an experienced content creator, a startup founder, a new influencer, or new to a leadership position, I build your brand strategy to reflect who you are. Through our work, I'll ensure you're always showing up as your best self.
