For the past 9 years, I've run my own communications and advocacy firm, Bayer Strategic Consulting (https://bayerstrategic.com/), outside Washington, DC USA. Before that, I served as a chief of staff in the U.S. Senate. I help universities, companies, and foundations get their scientists and engineers coached up in high-stakes executive presentation and writing skills. To learn: I need great lead gen systems. To share: Developing and delivering persuasive communications is my area of expertise, and I’m happy to share what I’ve learned along the way both in the U.S. Congress and in running my newsletter, podcast, and YouTube channel. Excited to be here!
