Jerilan G.'s Linkedin Analytics

For 25+ years, I have improvised a career as an executive cultivating strategy, leadership and influence. Inside and outside the Fortune 500. From start-up to stalwart. As consultant and corporate executive. For and among leaders. The common thread in the results I have delivered with teams and for C-Suites and boards was bringing clarity to complexity, risk, and change, especially in unprecedented situations, and creating a path for growth, trust, and results with many stakeholders. From 2011-2022, I led cross-functional teams at Yum! Brands, and for six years as SVP, Chief Communications & Public Affairs Officer and Yum! Foundation Chairman & CEO, guiding the strategy and integration of the global communications, crisis, sustainability, social impact, and government affairs functions. Previously, for 15 years, I counseled clients at Edelman, Burson, Deloitte, and Towers Watson; across public, private, M&A, human capital and reputation issues in the consumer, pharmaceuticals, biotech, technology, telecommunications, energy and financial sectors. Today as the world gets more complex, I am passionate about helping emerging and established brands, C-Suites, boards of directors, and growth companies navigate the rising expectations of leadership in a changing world. Combining the power of brand clarity, strategy, and integrated communications, I gladly help CXOs and companies: 🔸️ Clarify and elevate brands 🔸️ Strengthen and position leadership 🔸️ Drive growth and transformation 🔸️ Create resilience and manage risk 🔸️ Optimize and integrate communications 🔸️ Advance corporate citizenship 🔸️ Design multi-stakeholder engagement 🔸️ Scale up for growth and new challenges Currently, I serve as a board member and advisor for SaaS growth companies.
