A former award-winning television journalist and producer, I have held senior roles in the leading public relations firms Edelman and Hill & Knowlton.
I have advised some of the world’s largest companies on managing high-profile crises and protracted issues, and I conduct media and crisis training for CEOs, senior executives and subject matter experts in Australia and around the world.
