Nicole L.
Expert in Strategic Communication | Accredited Comms/Leadership Coach
I'm a seasoned executive communications leader who thrives at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and leadership. I’ve spent my career helping organizations bring their mission, vision, and values to life—aligning cross-functional teams and shaping internal culture through clear, compelling communication. I've had the privilege of leading and advising communications at dynamic, high-impact companies including Solar Turbines, Intuitive Surgical, Twist Bioscience, and Bill.com. These experiences have sharpened my ability to distill complex ideas into messages that resonate, inspire, and drive alignment across diverse teams and stakeholders. As a Master Certified Coach (pending) and an ICF-certified communications coach, I work closely with senior leaders as a trusted thought partner. I specialize in crafting meaningful messaging—from town halls and executive keynotes to media interviews and high-stakes panels—that connects leaders with their teams and the broader public in authentic, effective ways. I’m also a data-driven PR strategist and experienced press liaison, with placements for former CEOs in outlets such as The New York Times and Bloomberg. Whether supporting internal transformation or elevating thought leadership externally, I bring a steady hand, strategic insight, and a deep respect for the human side of communication. At the core of everything I do is a belief that honest, values-based storytelling has the power to transform organizations and unlock their full potential.
