I&rsquo;ve written CEO and CMO speeches for $30M flagship conferences, ghostwritten executive bylines in Forbes and VentureBeat, and built research programs with sales enablement elements that drove 38% of a company&rsquo;s annual demo requests.<\/p>\n    <p>These engagements taught me an important lesson: your company&rsquo;s narrative only moves buyers when sales, product, customer success, and marketing are all equipped to tell the same story.<\/p>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section class=\"dp-section\">\n    <h2>Trained to find the story<\/h2>\n    <p>I started my career as a journalist and managing editor, where I learned that the best stories come from asking better questions &mdash; then listening for the answer behind the answer. That instinct, first sharpened at Georgetown as editor of my college paper and an intern in broadcast, has shaped everything I&rsquo;ve built at Devon Point.<\/p>\n    <p>Whether I&rsquo;m interviewing a CEO to surface the insight they don&rsquo;t know they have, designing a research program that centers my client in important industry conversations, or turning an event keynote into six months of content, the work always starts the same way: with a conversation.<\/p>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section class=\"dp-section\">\n    <h2>Showing the work<\/h2>\n    <p>I don&rsquo;t just build thought leadership programs; I run one. I write regularly about B2B marketing, event strategy, and what makes thought leadership actually move buyers. The frameworks I use with clients are the same ones I publish and defend in industry conversations. It keeps the thinking sharp, and it means nothing I recommend is theoretical.<\/p>\n    <p style=\"margin-top: 28px; font-size: 0.975rem;\">Read more: &nbsp;<a
