Cris Paden's Linkedin Analytics

Global corporate communications professional at the Fortune 500 company level, specializing in the development, coordination, and dissemination of key corporate messaging on a worldwide basis in the areas of crisis communications, public policy, public affairs, innovation and technology, litigation and legal issues, financial/quarterly earnings communications, human resources, intellectual property, brand protection, and corporate responsibility. When something happens with a potential global impact on the operations or brand of an organization, my job as the corporate communications leader is to be a strategic counselor, much like an attorney for financial advisor, providing options and recommendations on next steps. Most importantly, the next step is to act as the "center of the bicycle spoke" and make sure that investor relations, government relations, industry analyst relations, sales communications, internal communications and customer support all have the basic messages they need to develop their own Q&As targeted at their specific audiences. As such, I specialize in developing the strategic positioning and key messages for communicating complex issues in a compelling manner to achieve corporate thought leadership, and the management ability to ensure consistent delivery of those messages throughout a global network of communicators, executive spokespersons, country managers, outside agencies and ultimately, to the media. Lastly, I also offer extensive experience at being an actual company spokesperson with the press, doing media interviews and being quoted on any range of issues under the most strenuous circumstances with the world's most visible media outlets.
