Hi, I am a Fractional Chief Connections Officer.

As your Fractional Chief Connections Officer (CCO), I help your organisation harness the power of connections by uniting three critical pillars: communications, partnerships, and leads.

Connections take many formats. 

Effective communication connects people with your message.

Strategic partnerships connect collaborating organisations, brands and businesses.

New leads, connect potential customers to your pipeline.

I work with leadership teams to:

• Shape your story – developing communications strategies and brand narratives that cut through.
• Communicate Change  - structuring effective communications to identify opportunities, avoid risk, anticipate crises and navigate tricky situations before they arise.
• Build a collaborative community – identifying and cultivating strategic partnerships that amplify reach and impact.
• Extend your pipeline – identifying and introducing you to leads which create meaningful business outcomes.
   

With a flexible, fractional model, you gain senior-level expertise without the full-time cost - giving your organisation clarity, capability, and confidence to connect with the right people, in the right way, at the right time.

Outputs you can expect:

• A clear communications strategy, brand story and execution plan.
• On call communications guidance to assist with change, crises, risks and planning. 
• Strategic partnerships that open doors and extend your message.
• Opportunities for new leads aligned with your objectives.
• Integrated strategies where communications fuel partnerships, partnerships generate leads, and leads deliver results.

Mentoring and Guidance

I bring an empathetic, emotionally intelligent approach to leadership. I am available to work with teams or individuals to help them grow and thrive and lead with confidence and culture-first thinking.

• Act as a trusted advisor to executives and teams navigating transitions, challenges, or growth phases.
• Provide one-on-one mentoring for emerging and established leaders to build confidence, resilience, and clarity.

The unique value I provide as a Fractional Chief Connections Officer lies in the integration of these three functions:

Individually they provide you with senior-level support when needed - but together they offer a holistic connections strategy - one that builds opportunity in a cohesive way.
