Ginny is an executive counselor to company executives and communications leaders who want to improve the performance, value and impact of the function in their organizations. She works with leaders in companies large and small with all types of operating cultures and personalities, and industries ranging from fashion and retail to financial services, public utilities and industrial/manufacturing.
Ginny started her 30+ year career as a communicator in the fashion retail industry in New York City. Her success took her to roles with Fortune 500 companies, including CPC International Inc. (now Unilever) and Bank of America. As her career progressed, she led the function in large, multi-national companies, including Wachovia Corp. (now Wells Fargo Corp.), Duke Energy and Ingersoll Rand. Through her professional journey, her passion became clear – she enjoys helping communications managers and leaders build their confidence, increase their value, and establish communications as a critical success lever within their companies.
Ginny takes an honest and direct approach when applying her “Trust and Impact Framework” for communications leaders. The trust and impact methodology starts at the intersection between strategy, culture and leadership. It uses a combination of quantitative and perceptual data to build courageous and sustainable programs that mature and create clarity for the leader, team and function within the broad company and within the functions communications may report like Human Resources, Marketing or Legal.
Ginny resides outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, with her husband, Patrick. They are parents to a grown daughter and two big dogs. She enjoys spending time on Martha’s Vineyard with her family, hiking the North Carolina mountains and reading a good book. Ginny is active in the community, and has held a recent leadership role on Susan G. Komen for the Carolinas Board of Advisors. She currently sits on the Joe Martin ALS Foundation Board of Directors. She graduated with honors from Boston College with degrees in both Communications and Philosophy.
