Partnering to
Meet the Moment
The world is changing so fast that it feels like everything is happening everywhere all at once, doesn’t it?
I see people and organizations around the world facing pressures to adapt amid unprecedented uncertainty while staying true to their missions. In moments like these, people need partners who can work with them to share strategic insights, turn analysis into action, and connect the global and the local.
My career has been building bridges to bring people together in challenging political times – advancing international dialogue after 9/11; promoting transatlantic relations during the war in Iraq; connecting business, military, and policy leaders to tackle shared concerns about America’s role in the world; and leading high-level policy engagement across crises during the Obama, Trump, and Biden Administrations.
Through JKG Strategic Partnerships, I serve as a trusted advisor and partner with CEOs, leadership teams, and boards to position themselves amid dramatic changes in DC and around the world.
There is a lot of work to be done to meet this moment. I come to the table ready to build tailored and focused partnerships that meet your needs — from political analysis to policy development, strategic communications, program design, and event curation and moderation.
