Gender Female
Introduction As Weber Shandwick's Chief Reputation Strategist, I focus on the everchanging world of reputation. For the past 25 years, I have watched, researched and commented on rising and falling reputations. I have been the lucky architect of landmark research on CEO and corporate reputation, CEO transitions, executive thought leadership, most admired companies and reputation recovery and sustainability. In 2003, I wrote CEO Capital: A Guide to Building CEO Reputation and Success (John Wiley & Sons). The book describes the inextricable link between CEO and corporate reputation and provides practical, straightforward advice for CEOs as they journey through their first 100 days to their last 100 hours. Prior to joining Weber Shandwick, I was the Chief Knowledge & Research Officer Worldwide at Burson-Marsteller and the Marketing & Communications Director at Fortune. My favorite reputation quote is from Warren Buffett: “If you lose dollars for the firm by bad decisions, I will be understanding. If you lose reputation for the firm, I will be ruthless.” Amen.
