Chief Storyteller and Executive Communications Expert Helping Businesses Live Happily Ever Up and to the Right

My career as a Corporate Storyteller started auspiciously when I was taking notes on a whiteboard in a meeting and confidently wrote “Sea-Level Executives.” Luckily, there was nowhere to go but up from there.

As a Chief Product Storyteller, I'm known for pushing leaders out of their comfort zone, challenging them to take risks for greater audience resonance. My storytelling passion is helping communicators escape the abstraction trap and create concrete, heartfelt communications that truly resonate with audiences. I specialize in dense, complex, "boring" industries. Turning something boring into something bold and engaging is a challenge that keeps me continuously energized.

For the past 12+ years, I’ve partnered with global technology companies including SAP, Microsoft, Cisco, and ADP to help executives and organizations build and scale their storytelling muscle through proven frameworks, best practices and 1 on 1 tier 1 content development like keynote speeches and All-Hands communications.

Currently, I serve as Chief Business Storyteller and Executive Speechwriter for the CMO of SAP Global, where I help leaders communicate with greater clarity, resonance, and emotional precision. During my tenure, average keynote approval ratings rose from 83% to 90%.

Here is an example of a Keynote Speech I wrote for our user conference that received a 92% approval rating.
