Case Study 1: Reimagining a C-Suite Executive's Public Persona.
IClient Profile: Mr. J. Thorne, CEO of a global investment firm, known for his financial acumen but perceived as unapproachable in public and media engagements. He sought to soften his image, enhance his influence beyond the boardroom, and connect more authentically with stakeholders.
