D.L.S. | Paladin Los Angeles
Candidate
Communications Director/Communications Consultant
Available For:
Contracting, Direct Hire, Consulting
Ideal Position:
This could involve having a spot at the table with an organization's C-suite of executives, strategizing and thereafter executing on communications aligned with company objectives and initiatives. A second ideal position could include working as a client-site consultant to problem solve through innovative communication techniques and solutions.
Ideal Environment:
Having worked across a variety of industries I would equally define myself as collaborative as I am independent, adept at leveraging the insight of key figures yet capable of developing and executing on my own. I maintain an ethical conscience and inner drive, and am gratified by championing others. I seek a culture where these elements can thrive.
Past Experience:
I currently serve as Organizational Communications Director for a national trade organization and hold 12+ years of internal/external communications experience with Jones Lang LaSalle, JPMorgan Chase and Accenture. I managed firm-wide proposals, international change management communications and global communications for 75,000 in 47 countries.
Currently:
A recent ribbon-cutting event to mark the opening of a 48,000 sq. ft. training center included development of a communications plan, lining up speakers, developing press releases, composing a fact sheet, writing the president's speech, photographing day-of events, posting collateral to the company Web site and sourcing external media coverage.
Additional:
My background in sports competition, teaching and coaching athletics has served as an excellent resource for managing and mentoring others, positioning me to serve as a voice of reason during crises. A home base of Arizona is ideal; also open to the Southern California region, with a willingness to travel as necessary. Graduate of Northwestern University.
