Senior communications leadership, when you need it.

When the communications function isn’t working properly, it can become a liability for your organization rather than an asset.

It takes skill and experience to untangle structural, operational or staffing issues to renew, rebuild or re-tool the communications department.

Mary Ellen Armstrong provides consulting and fractional/interim leadership to organizations facing growth, change or complex challenges. She is a trusted advisor to senior executives in healthcare, non-profit and government. As a former senior leader in the sector, Mary Ellen understands both the concerns and desires of board members and senior leadership, as well as the pressures of the communications team.

Mary Ellen assesses what’s working, fixes what isn’t, and aligns communications teams towards their organizations’ priorities and needs.

Fix the function. Align the team. Move the organization forward.
