Your business is your business. My business is to tell your story.
One part communicator, one part strategist, I help you engage your audience and build your brand. I bring tactical acuity and an ability to ideate, offering an uncommon combination of big-picture conceptualization and attention-to-detail execution - with just the right ratio of business brain to creative thinking.
What I offer
Ideation and strategic conceptualization
Informed by your business strategy, I am able to develop everything from a campaign concept to a communications plan. And if you haven't articulated your strategy, I can help you do that. Think creative director meets down-to-the-detail storytelling that spans all of the areas you need it to.
Speechwriting
I take words and work them in such a way as to offer the authenticity of your intent to your audience, making sure that your messaging lands. XXX I have written wedding speeches, content for women's conferences in South Africa to speeches delivered at The Rockerfeller Center in NYC.
Minutes of meetings
Need minutes for your board meetings? If you invite my business brain to your online or in-person meeting (or supply me with a recording or transcript), I will deliver you a meaningful set of minutes. They will be CI-compliant, smartly structured, well-articulated, and capture what matters most.
Ghostwriting
Each of us has a story to tell. The job of telling that story is, well, a different story altogether. Working with words that work is where I come in. Be it personal memoir, book or article that needs articulating, I bring years of interview, writing and editing skills to the storytelling table.
Corporate communications
Experienced in C-suite communications, I deliver stakeholder-wide content. Whether collating internal messaging for a business unit or crafting external communications to key clients, I offer excellence in my work, which includes board documents, research, annual reports and marketing messaging
Experiences

This is a humorous book on parenting - a collation of pieces based on my six years as a back-page columnist for the popular South African parenting magazine, Living and Loving. Otherwise known as the cheapest contraceptive money can buy. 🙂
Book co-author: Retiremeant
This book was written for a client in the financial-services industry. Catering to a high-net-worth clientele, it explores key considerations - practical, personal and purposeful - around the life stage that is retirement, going beyond matters of money to how to build a life that is meaningful.
