With 25 years supporting Fortune 500 companies, global nonprofits, and startups, he helps internal comms and employee experience leaders move from reactive messaging to communication that strengthens engagement and business outcomes. He’s also co-founder of Resource Hero, a 5-star Salesforce app that helps managers optimize team workload.
