Clarity Matters.
I help leaders find it
Chris’s work is shaped by experience across national media, public-sector leadership, and high-stakes environments where words carry real benefits and consequences. He has reported from Washington and Afghanistan, advised leaders during moments of crisis and public scrutiny, and supported policy decisions that have shaped communities in California, Louisiana, and Georgia.
He has helped leaders navigate urgent crises and long-term strategic change—translating complexity into clarity and pressure into purposeful communication. That breadth of experience gives Chris a grounded understanding of how decisions are made, how messages are received, and how trust is built or lost in real time.
Clients work with Chris not just for communications support, but for judgment—earned in environments where credibility mattered, stakes were real, and the margin for error was small.
How I work
I partner with leaders on the decisions, moments, and challenges where clarity and judgment matter most. My role is advisory and collaborative—focused on helping leaders think, decide, and communicate with intention.
Executive Advisor
I work alongside senior leaders and leadership teams as a trusted advisor—helping them navigate complexity, align priorities, and make decisions that carry both strategic and reputational weight.
Public Affairs & Stakeholder Context
I advise at the intersection of leadership, institutions, and the public—where policy, perception, and accountability meet. This includes helping leaders understand stakeholder dynamics and communicate accordingly.
Strategy & Alignment
When strategy is clear internally, communication follows. I help organizations align leadership, direction, and messaging so decisions are understood, supported, and sustained.
Crisis & High-Stakes Moments
In moments of pressure, speed and discretion matter. I support leaders navigating crisis, public scrutiny, and sensitive issues—helping them choose language and direction that protect trust and long-term credibility.
Leadership Presence & Preparation
Whether preparing for a major address, public appearance, or internal moment that matters, I help leaders show up with clarity and confidence—focused on substance, presence, and intent rather than performance.
