I help companies tell their stories

Many firms struggle with the same content problems. Their team is stretched thin, the content they’re producing feels generic and it’s not clear if any of it is supporting business development.

I work with RIAs, boutique asset managers and fintech firms that want to differentiate their approach and maintain visibility without burning out their teams. My clients value clear thinking, authentic positioning, and content that drives conversations with the right audiences.

Here’s how we can work together.

Content Strategy

When content seems scattered or is underperforming, strategy brings clarity. Through stakeholder interviews, content audits, and competitive analysis, I identify what’s working, what’s not and where your real opportunities are. In 3-4 weeks, you’ll get a written blueprint that connects your content directly to business development goals, with clear priorities, messaging themes, and a roadmap your team can execute.

What you get:

  • Analysis of current content performance and competitive landscape

  • Identification of content gaps and missed opportunities

  • Strategic messaging framework aligned with your positioning

  • Detailed content briefs to get started

  • Editorial calendar guidance tied to business objectives

Writing & Thought Leadership

One of the best ways to rise above generic content is to uncover original insights. I write for wealth managers, asset managers, and fintech firms, helping them build trust, articulate expertise, and stand out with unique, proprietary content. Many of my writing clients work with me on an ongoing basis. It’s easier when someone already knows your firm, understands your positioning, and doesn’t need constant re-briefing.

Research-Based Content

Proprietary research is one of the most effective ways to position your firm as a thought leader. I help you design surveys, analyze the findings, and shape them into narratives that spark conversation and demonstrate genuine expertise—not just surface-level commentary.

Projects include:

  • Proprietary surveys and research reports

  • White papers and eBooks

  • Data-driven articles

Executive Thought Leadership

Your senior leaders have valuable perspectives, but they don’t have time to write. I work directly with executives to draw out their unique insights.

Projects include:

  • Executive ghostwriting for LinkedIn

  • Articles for industry publications

Strategic Content Projects

Not every project needs to be high stakes. Sometimes you need well-researched, distinctive content that educates your audience and supports your positioning.

Projects include:

  • Articles and blog posts

  • Case studies

Content Management

I serve as a managing editor or content lead for firms that want to elevate their editorial standards and run content operations more smoothly. I help teams maintain a consistent voice, streamline workflows and elevate quality across writers and formats. This means guiding freelance contributors, maintaining voice and positioning, designing editorial processes that save time, and helping your team repurpose existing content more strategically.

Support includes:

  • Managing and mentoring contributors

  • Editorial calendars

  • Workflow design

  • Repurposing content across channels
