Maintains a communications calendar that ensures consistent strategic messaging across departments and eliminates information silos. Partners with HR, Operations, and Delivery leads to cascade strategy from the executive level to individual contributors.

Rockefeller Habits Implementation: Serves as the internal champion and operational owner of the Rockefeller Habits (Scaling Up) framework across C5MI’s leadership and functional teams.

• Partners with HR on cultureinitiatives, change management communications, and employee engagement content that connects individual roles to company outcomes.
