Gill Hart  BA MA

With more than 30 years of communications and corporate affairs experience as a senior leader / director, I have been responsible for delivering corporate objectives by devising and implementing strategic internal and external communications, for managing stakeholder and media relationships, for providing leadership around the integrity of the brand and campaigns for its enhancement, while minimising risk and advancing corporate reputation.

Where I believe I add value is having an extensive mix of best practice private sector expertise, alongside the knowledge and pragmatism of having worked in a strict statutory environment, under the spotlight of political and media scrutiny, while securing stakeholder understanding, agreement and advocacy.

As a former journalist and creative storyteller, I capitalise on empathy and emotional intelligence to shape meaningful and accessible narratives. Calm under pressure, I am skilled at targeting these narratives to cut through the noise, particularly during periods of change and uncertainty, to secure clarity for all internal and external stakeholders, while supporting colleagues to understand corporate strategy, their roles and to fulfil their potential in the workplace.

As a consultant, required to meet demanding objectives but with a limited time to achieve tangible results, it is critical I always hit the floor running and I believe my experience in this area showcases my strengths in that I can build relationships quickly, can network effectively, am flexible and can adapt my style to fit in with any team dynamic yet am equally comfortable working alone.

While achieving a credible record of success in my career to date, I also take pride in consistently demonstrating I provide reliable counsel as a trusted adviser, able to maintain good humour and a positive results-driven attitude throughout.
