Communications That Move Business Forward.
I partner with established founders, CEOs, principals and their families when business, wealth and influence require a more strategic approach to communications, public affairs, reputation and relationships.
From leading a critical communications or public affairs initiative, to serving as fractional executive leadership, to helping steward a principal’s reputation, relationships and influence across business and family interests, I step in as a trusted executive partner and help move the work forward.
What We Build Together
The right communications, relationships and reputation can create access long before an opportunity becomes public. Together, we strengthen how you are positioned, who knows and trusts you, and the relationships that help move business and opportunity forward.
Stronger Positioning
Strategic Visibility
Strategic Relationships
Market Credibility
Reputation
Social Capital
Position leaders to show up with greater clarity, credibility, and influence.
Make sure the people who matter understand who you are, what you do, and why it matters.
Strengthen relationships with the partners, decision-makers, community leaders, and stakeholders important to your business.
Build the visibility and trust that support expansion into new markets and opportunities.
Protect and strengthen the reputation you've worked hard to build.
Build the relationships, goodwill, and trust that create value beyond any single transaction.
How We Partner
The right partnership depends on what you need
I can step in to lead a defined communications or public affairs priority, serve as fractional executive leadership without the full-time hire, or work more closely with a founder or principal whose business, reputation, relationships and influence extend beyond any one company.
I. Strategic Initiatives
Executive leadership for high-priority communications and public affairs initiatives.
Some priorities are too important to compete with an already full workload. When a communications or public affairs initiative needs experienced leadership and clear ownership, I step in to lead it from strategy through execution.
How I Help
-
Major announcements, launches and business milestones
-
Executive and organizational positioning
-
Stakeholder and community engagement
-
Public affairs initiatives
-
Reputation and sensitive communications
-
Communications supporting high-priority business objectives
Best for: Organizations with a defined communications or public affairs priority that needs experienced executive leadership and dedicated ownership.
II. Executive Partnership
An experienced communications and public affairs executive without the full-time hire.
I work alongside founders, CEOs and executive teams as fractional communications and public affairs leadership, providing senior-level ownership of communications, reputation, relationships and public affairs without adding another full-time executive.
How I Help

Executive and organizational communications
-
Executive positioning and thought leadership
-
Public affairs and stakeholder engagement

Best for: Organizations that need experienced communications and public affairs leadership without hiring another full-time executive.
III. Office of the Founder
Stewarding a life's work.
As success grows, the lines between business, reputation, relationships, influence, family and legacy often become less distinct.
For a select number of founders and principals, I serve as a trusted Executive Partner across that broader ecosystem, helping steward the reputation, relationships, communications and social capital surrounding what they've built and where they're going.
How I Help:
-
Steward personal and professional reputation
-
Strengthen strategic relationships and social capital
-
Guide communications, public affairs and positioning
-

Best for: Established founders and principals whose business, influence and interests extend beyond a single company and who value a trusted partner helping steward the broader ecosystem surrounding their life's work.
ABOUT NIKKI
Behind every influential leader is someone they trust.
For more than two decades, I've worked alongside leaders navigating complex environments, high-stakes decisions and moments when communication mattered.
My career has taken me from military leadership and five combat tours to professional sports, local government, public safety and the executive suite.
Across those environments, I've built my career at the intersection of communications, public affairs, relationships, reputation and leadership.
Today, I bring that experience directly to founders, CEOs and principals as an Executive Partner, helping them navigate the communications, relationships, reputation and influence surrounding what they're building and where they're going.
LET'S START THE CONVERSATION
The most important work rarely begins with a proposal. It begins with a conversation.
Whether you have a specific priority that needs experienced leadership, need ongoing executive support, or are looking for a trusted partner across the broader reputation, relationships and influence surrounding what you've built, I'd welcome the opportunity to learn more.
