Shane Mathew:
I coach teams charged with helping businesses to prepare to continue on in crisis or business disruption by developing a best-practices-aligned resilience program.
In my extensive career, I've started and matured multiple programs that were able to successfully reduce the impacts of crises. My goal is to lower the cost and complexity of programs through developing a strategic plan and stakeholder engagement that ultimately supports business objectives. I'm also very media friendly, and try to find ways to weave marketing and brand value best practices into my efforts.
Ask me how and I will be glad to help!
