• Understanding the importance of knowing one's "why" for staying committed to visibility and leadership goals.

• Addressing disparities in visibility between male and female leaders.

Angela Cross, reputation strategist, pilotPR

With more than two decades in corporate PR and crisis and issues management, I've led reputation programs for multinational businesses, built thought leadership strategies for businesses and leaders, and been the driving force behind the successful creation of CEO and executive profiles. Today, I apply the asset-based approach to reputation I utilized with my corporate clients to deliver results-focussed, multi-platform reputation strategies for two types of clients: businesses that deserve recognition but don’t have it yet, and leaders who deserve a space as a thought leader and want to be visible with ease and purpose.
