Includes New York City agency public relations experience: Senior Vice President at Edelman Worldwide, the world's largest independent public relations firm, Middleberg Communications, Howard Rubenstein Associates, Marston Communications, Makovsky + Co.

In 2007 I joined Frances Del Valle and became Partner at Influence Consulting Group (ICG). In 2009, we launched InflueneWave to develop Internet communications strategies for established companies and entrepreneurial start-ups. I also assist with Editorial Services and InfluenceFinancial.

At ICG we don't just think different - we are different, built from the ground up for the world of digital communications.
