As the CEO of a publicly traded company, I am very cognizant of the impact I have with my communications, be it a keynote speech, an investor or media briefing or an email to my 1200-plus global employee-base. Priya has played a crucial role in positioning me as an effective communicator. She helped me deliver a killer keynote presentation launching our flagship product, X Series at Enterprise Connect and also made my commencement speech at Florida Tech truly inspiring for the graduating class of 2018. Priya is the rare combination of a lawyer, priest and communications pro who understands my vision and is fantastic at translating that into words. She brings out the best in the executives she works with!
Mobile World Congress is a marquee event for IBM where we make major announcements and are also competing with other big industry news. Priya helped us masterfully plan and execute a press conference at the 2016 Mobile World Congress, announcing our milestones with the IBM Mobile-Apple partnership. Her training in how I address the press conference, how I clearly communicate the “so-what,” and explain the huge benefits of the partnership to large enterprises through real-world examples are reflected in the positive coverage we got. Priya is highly experienced in helping senior executives with highly technical backgrounds distill complex content into a simple and compelling message that anyone, including your third-grader can understand and appreciate.
I have been in awe of Priya from the moment I met her. She was a guest catalyst for a room full of healthcare marketing executives, sharing best practices in digital communications. When I brought Priya back to meet my team at Meridian Health, they too were inspired by her workshop on modern communications. Just knowing her and watching her climb and succeed over the years is a blessing. Priya can help your leadership team embrace new-age communications techniques.
Priya is exceptionally good at training executives to become powerful storytellers. She led the PR and communications behind the successful launch of AARP’s RealPad, the first tablet designed for tech-shy boomers, in partnership with Intel. Priya helped me effectively articulate AARP’s mission to enhance people’s lives with personal tech. I was very comfortable facing the media and convincing even the skeptics on the value of RealPad because of Priya’s coaching.
