Alison Harrison is a communications professional with more than 8 years' experience of working closely with senior executives to create and deliver effective communications programs.

She has a passion for helping management and employees to strike up meaningful conversations - and a talent for translating complex technical and organizational material into clear and usable content. That talent's as easily put to use to create  employee communications as for writing effective white papers and case studies.

An expat Brit, with the accent to prove it, Alison has a BA in English from Cambridge University. She has worked with executives from Royal Dutch Shell, Kaiser Permanente and non-profit organizations in both Europe and the US.

She is also Director of the Independent Communicators' Roundtable for the San Francisco Chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) . This gives her access to a network of talented and trustworthy freelance communicators in return for arranging speaker programs and discussion forums for the group.
