Naomi is a strategic communications specialist with a soft spot for nonprofits and a firm belief that good storytelling can move mountains (or at least boost engagement metrics). With a background in broadcast journalism and over a decade in comms roles zigzagging from international banking to global health research—Naomi now leads marketing and communications for ECTRIMS, Europe’s largest MS research organization, where she creates congress campaigns, crafts speeches and produces everything from legacy films to podcasts.

She’s also the host and producer of the new Boardroom Association Podcast, where she chats with leaders about what really makes associations tick (and sometimes what makes them unravel). A Chicago-native and certified digital marketing professional, Naomi is known for keeping herself (sometimes too) busy in her work. She is also a workshop trainer, a crisis comms whisperer, and a believer that a strong message and an equally strong coffee can fix most things.
