The public expects leaders to be ready to engage on the issues, and those issues are larger than the brand.
I work in tandem with in-house teams and large agency partners to support the CEO like a public official, positioning them as credible, recognizable voices in their field with a clear message. Services include media training, speechwriting, byline op-eds, long-form executive positioning, policy position research, and platform development.

Companies and their leaders face new levels of public expectations and scrutiny when they raise funds or go public. The C-Suite needs a press strategy that engages institutional and retail investors, regulators, employees and consumers. Talisman handles spokesperson preparation around IPOs, mergers, SPAC transactions, fundraising and other high-stakes financial moments. This work is built on direct experience managing more than a dozen public listings and executive communications for the CEOs of publicly traded companies in industries spanning deep tech, life sciences and consumer goods.

Working for the global leaders who shape U.S. foreign policy has honed my experience communicating during reputation-defining events. If you are facing a reputational challenge, I will bring these experiences to bear to help you navigate it. Services include direct media relations, rapid response, research, and strategic support.

Talisman can support teams that have grown companies to the point that they need a unified communications strategy, assistance securing and responding to the press, and support for executives whose profiles are rising, but that do not want to commit to a full-time staff member and associated overhead. I will work as part of your extended team to fill those needs.
