Testimonials

  • "There's no one I'd trust more than Anne Marie to help me strategize my way through a thorny issue. Her background as a journalist gives her a no BS point of view, which means real and effective messaging not corporate speak. And that makes all the difference when dealing with a high profile media situation. I'd trust her with any corporate issue I was facing any day of the week."

    Jenny McCabe, former CCO at Tinder

  • "Anne Marie seamlessly immersed with our team as our fractional CMO, helping us establish a differentiated brand positioning and narrative. She built the marketing and communications strategy and then led the execution to a new website, content and PR. She was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with her again."

    Greg Gilman, founder and executive chair of Protego Trust and co-founder of Science

  • "Anne Marie is calm under pressure, clear and confident in her thinking, and personally supportive to me as I expanded my external media platform as the CHRO of Netflix. I frequently heard and still do, Anne Marie's voice in my head providing me sage advice, when onstage speaking or preparing for a larger speaking engagement."
