Solo strategist · agency-grade, AI-accelerated Climate — Science — Environment — Mission-Driven Work

Turning complex, important missions into stories that resonate, spread, and stick.

I'm a writer first. For twenty years I've helped founders, scientists, and mission-driven leaders translate complex, important work — across climate, science, and the environment — into language investors, journalists, funders, and the public actually understand. One senior partner — no agency overhead.

01 — The problem

You're doing big work — but flying under the radar.

We need high-level communications leadership, but not another agency — and not a junior account team learning our space on our dime.

Our story isn't ready for investors, media, funders, or customers — and the next raise or launch is coming fast.

Our work is too complex, and too important, to oversimplify or get wrong.

We move fast. We need a partner who can keep pace — without a six-week onboarding.

02 — Where to start

Three ways to work together.

Most engagements begin with the Narrative Foundation — then grow from there.

Best first step i.

Narrative Foundation

A clean, decisive document defining your competitive landscape, your voice, and your market position — the bedrock everything else is built on.

For early-stage teams

ii.

Fractional Comms Lead

Senior, C-suite-level strategy on retainer — through raises, launches, pivots, and positioning moments. Without the headcount.

For scaling ventures

iii.

Visibility & Media

Thought leadership, executive presence, and media relations that make you the definitive voice in your field.

For founders & experts

03 — The difference

Most of them can position. Few of them can write.

The depth of an agency. The voice of a journalist. The speed of one person who actually knows your story.

I was a journalist for The New York Times, MIT Technology Review, WIRED, and the San Francisco Chronicle before I ever wrote a positioning statement. That instinct is the difference between messaging that sounds like everyone else's and a narrative people remember. AI workflows handle the research, drafting, and monitoring at machine speed; the judgment and the prose stay human.
