Kiran Khalid's Linkedin Analytics

Recent: Brand and media strategist for Corporate Reputation Practice at Edelman where I helped Fortune 500 CEOs find their voice amidst a din of thought leaders, media trained high-profile executives including former cabinet secretaries, elected and federal officials and translated policy, climate tech and complex subject matter for external and investor audiences. Since my crossover from newsrooms to boardrooms, I have counseled large, matrixed corporations and federal agencies, led high-stakes crisis response strategies that humanized even the most monolithic organizations and served as the primary architect of editorial content for some of the world’s most embattled brands. When clients say they need someone who can distill complex subject matter for multiple audiences and tackle the toughest reputation challenges, they’re describing exactly what I do. Areas where my skills stand out: * Corporate Communications and crisis response * Energy and climate change issues * Government Affairs and Public Policy strategy * Investor and stakeholder communications * Media training * Persuasive speaking Prior to story mining in the energy and corporate sectors: Network producer and foreign correspondent in constant pursuit of stories about people, places and policies that were not getting enough (or any) attention. First love: journalism. Fun “facts”: I’m a sharp shooter when it comes to dueling puns and have a very strong gif game. Actual fact: I became the first Pakistani-American woman on broadcast news when I made my on-air debut at the CBS affiliate in Corpus Christi, Texas.
