Chief Storyteller and Fractional Chief Communications Officer
Chief Storyteller with decades of global communications leadership, driving high impact product launches, public affairs, and reputation management for brands including Apple, Dolby, AT&T, Ogilvy and RealPage.
From iconic global brands to emerging businesses and creative ventures, I help organizations tell compelling stories, navigate complexity and build lasting reputations.
Proven track record in shaping policy conversations, orchestrating major event keynotes, and securing top-tier media placements to elevate brand visibility and credibility. Skilled at building integrated communications frameworks and leading cross-functional global teams. Former CMO, SVP communications and two-time VP global communications leader.
About Me
Born a veteran’s daughter in Denver, Colorado on an Air Force base, I’ve lived a few places in the U.S., but call Georgia my home. In 2007, I was recruited by Apple to launch iPhone and move to California. After working in Silicon Valley for 15 years for iconic brands like Apple, Dolby and ChargePoint, I returned to Georgia and worked remotely for Texas-based RealPage. I have 30 years of communications experience, primarily focused in tech for global and publicly-traded brands.
I’ve been happily married to Clark for over 30 years, and we have two amazing daughters, Alexis and Lyndsey, who are starting their careers in communications following graduation from the University of Alabama and University of South Carolina. Oh, and our family loves the outdoors, saltwater fishing, sports and supporting Make-A-Wish Foundation, Mission Fishin and Habitat for Humanity.
About My Work
I build and protect brands when it matters most. With communications leadership roles at AT&T, Apple, Dolby, ChargePoint and RealPage, I’ve worked at global scale and inside fast-moving environments. I’ve led teams of up to 50 and I’ve been a team of one. Either way, I deliver, navigate complexity, lead through pressure and elevate brand reputation in moments that define a company.
Range matters. I lead across the communications lifecycle: shaping public affairs strategy, guiding investor narratives, managing high stakes crisis, launching products that move markets and aligning employees behind transformation.
While in the Bay Area, I was highlighted as one of San Francisco’s Most Influential Women in Business” by the San Francisco Business Times. In 2025, I was recognized by Ragan as one of the 2025 Communicators, highlighted as one of four women in the Tech Leaders category. And today, I serve on the University of Georgia Grady College Crisis Communications Board, helping senior and grad students plan for the worst, while being their best.
My work also extends beyond the corporate world. Today, I bring that same strategic thinking and creative storytelling to authors, entrepreneurs and emerging brands. Most recently, I led the publicity and communications campaign for Golden Boy, the debut novel by A.J. Symon, developing an integrated approach to media relations, book tour promotion, social media and community engagement. It’s a reminder that great storytelling isn’t limited to big brands—and neither is great PR.
I have been very active with the following professional organizations throughout my career: World 50 (member of the Brand 50 group), AWE (Advancing Women Executives) and PRSA (Public Relations Society of America). Click each logo to learn more.
