Introduction

Anna Is Ready for Her Next Exec Comms Role

Senior AI narrative and executive messaging leader, building governed, high-impact communications systems.

New York, NY

About

I help leaders stay credible when the story is complex and the stakes are real.

I have spent my career translating high-scrutiny work, from research to healthcare to institutional leadership, into language people actually trust. I love the craft of executive voice, but I am just as focused on the systems behind it, governance, measurement, and AI workflows that protect accuracy. The goal is simple, say the right thing, consistently, across channels, even when everything is moving fast.

I build executive communications that can handle complexity without losing the human voice. I have supported provost leadership, briefed senior leaders including an early ChatGPT briefing, and built narrative and messaging architecture for an AI and data science portfolio.

I also care about what happens after the draft. I have integrated AI-assisted drafting and editing with clear review standards and accountability for final copy, so speed never comes at the cost of credibility.

And I track whether it is working. For a major AI Summit launch, I drove 4,560 search clicks with a 5.8% search CTR, then used performance reporting to shape channel and editorial decisions going forward.

If you know a comms leader hiring for exec comms, corporate affairs operations, or issues and change work, I would love a warm intro. If sharing is easier, a LinkedIn repost with one sentence about the kind of role and team you think I fit helps more than you think.

Target roles: Executive Communications Lead (technical or research-driven leaders), Corporate Affairs or Comms Operations Lead (governance, editorial systems, AI workflow), Issues and Change Communications Lead (high-scrutiny environments)
