I lead global communications and external relations for McKinsey’s Strategy and Corporate Finance practice – comprising our efforts across publishing, communications, and events to engage and connect with senior executives on our thought leadership and client capabilities.

My expertise and responsibilities include: thought leadership communications, marketing, and strategy (web, email, and print); client engagement and community building; and in-person and virtual client convenings.

I most recently led the multi-channel campaign for the best-selling book Strategy Beyond the Hockey Stick; the launches of our new “Inside the Strategy Room” podcast series, our new CEO and CFO apps, and several new global C-suite client events. I have also hosted and moderated more than 200 online presentations with McKinsey thought leaders attended by thousands of executives annually; and I have also hosted and moderated over 70 events at MIT as career management chair of the MIT Sloan Boston Alumni Association.

Prior to my current role, I was McKinsey’s director of global alumni relations, leading our alumni website, communications, career services, and events. Previously, I was director of alumni relations at MIT Sloan; founded and was CEO of a venture-backed marketing technology company; and was COO of a multi-channel marketer of custom luxury vehicles and accessories. Earlier in my career I was a McKinsey consultant focused on strategy and corporate finance.

I have advised a wide range of clients – and shared perspectives with leading international media – on alumni and external relations. I have also served as a keynote speaker on communications and external/alumni relations at conferences in Singapore, Germany, England, Ireland, Canada, and across the US.
