In my role as Vice President at the Loughlin/Michaels Group, I am responsible for building and implementing strategic, results-driven communications programs for enterprise, networking and infrastructure clients.  Drawing upon both in-house and PR agency experience, I work with clients to develop communications programs that balance fundamental PR strategies and tactics with creative approaches to produce a high volume of meaningful results that support global business objectives.  Prior to joining the Loughlin/Michaels Group, I was enterprise PR manager for Juniper Networks, a publicly traded networking company.  At Juniper I drove media strategy for the company's application delivery, security and switching products.  In January 2008 I helped lead the highly successful global public launch of Juniper's Ethernet Platforms Business Group and EX-series Ethernet switching product line.  Prior to Juniper, I was a client services director with McGrath/Power Public Relations where I helped lead the firm's IT security practice.  I have worked with a wealth of public and private companies including Critical Path, EarthLink, Fortinet, Internet Security Systems, Juniper Networks, RSA security and wyse technology.
