Nicky McHugh | Communications & Corporate Affairs Executive

I lead communications functions and teams for complex, global businesses, with a particular focus on reputation, executive counsel and the moments that matter most.

My work spans CEO and leadership communications, enterprise strategy positioning and narrative, media, investor and employee communications, external affairs, public affairs, crisis and reputation. Increasingly, this also means using AI to sharpen analysis, accelerate insight and improve how communications teams operate.

What ties it together is judgment.

The hardest communications challenges are rarely about finding better words. They are usually about helping leaders get clear on the decision, understand how different audiences will see it, and communicate in a way that holds up over time.
