  Manager, International Media Relations

  As an international PR manager, I spend my days pitching journalists and editors at top publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times and Bloomberg. I understand how journalists work and what they need to do their job, and I deliver it. I enjoy working with professors and researchers to translate complex academic topics into expertise that is helpful to journalists who cover green finance, health tech, digital laws, and sustainability. I also plan and execute public relations projects -- webinars, speaker series, and conference roundtables -- to promote the EDHEC brand in the UK and US. Voir moins
