Fractional CCO
A Fractional Chief Communications Officer for mission-driven and regulated organizations. I keep four things pointed in the same direction: who you are, what you're saying, how you're seen, and how you show up.
Who this is for
This is for you if you need a steady hand before the high-stakes moment, not a scramble during it.
You need senior communications judgment, but a full-time CCO isn't the right hire, yet or ever.
You're a mission-driven or regulated organization, where what you say carries weight and consequence.
You can feel the drift: the message that was sharp a year ago has lost its edge, and no one actually owns the throughline.
Your leadership sounds like different people depending on the room: one voice to the board, another to the company, another to the industry.
Most organizations don't have a communications problem they can point to. They have drift.
The daily decisions (what to say, how to frame it, who says it) get made by whoever's closest to the fire, and over time the gap widens between who you actually are and how you come across. It rarely shows up as a crisis. It shows up as opportunities that cool, a team that feels disconnected from the mission, messages that land flat, and a reputation that's a half-step off from the truth.
And when a genuinely high-stakes moment does arrive, there's no one whose job it was to have kept all of this aligned and ready.
What a Fractional CCO does
The work runs on a simple chain, my VVID™ framework. Keeping that chain taut is the strategic spine. And it spans the whole organization.
Who we think we are
What we're saying
How we're seen
How we show up
Every engagement includes customizable tools and templates, and you work directly with me throughout. It's my judgment on your organization, start to finish, not a handoff to a team.
What you walk away with
A core narrative the whole organization can pull from, so everyone tells the same story without being scripted.
An executive voice guide plus the ongoing ghostwritten comms that carry it.
Internal comms cadence and templates so your team communicates consistently even when I'm not in the room.
A crisis communications playbook, decided before the crisis, not improvised during it.
A typical month
Every week
Drafting or pressure-testing the communications that matter, and keeping leadership's voice consistent across every room.
Each month
A step back to check the chain. Has anything drifted, and what's coming that needs a message before it arrives?
When it counts
The high-stakes moment, where I'm already in position and already know your story, not parachuting in cold.
