Building Northbound — a fractional comms practice for AI health tech, biopharma, and health leaders.
What it's like to partner with me.
I show up the way a strong in-house comms leader would — close to your team, responsive in your channels, accountable to your goals. Week one is listening: stakeholders, history, what's working, what's brittle. From there, we set a small number of clear priorities and move.
Expect direct counsel, fast turnarounds, and writing you don't have to rewrite. Expect me to flag the hard things early, and to be the calm voice in the room when something breaks.
