8008 Zürich, Schweiz
I am passionate about telling stories.
As a strategic thinker, creative storyteller and excellent networker, I can help spread the news of all the important things you do. A quick glance at my CV will show you how well my experience as a journalist and communication specialist help you grow your company. I have:
• A proven record of creating and implementing strong communication strategies at Opel Europe; especially accomplished at working with C-level executives to help keep managers on message. My project management experience also includes work at the OSCE, where I redesigned, wrote and published their annual report.
• Experience with crisis communication as a member of a team that announced massive layoffs. We developed a sensitive internal communication strategy that was essential to the smooth execution of the project.
• Exemplary skills as a story teller, able to explain and herald your gallery’s activities across media and on appropriate social channels.
• An expansive network of journalists and contacts throughout Europe and North America.
As a reporter with experience, working for top tier publications including New York Times, Deutsche Welle and the Financial Times, I am well acquainted with working under pressure and meeting tight deadlines.
Former colleagues will confirm I’m a convivial person with strong interpersonal skills, so I can hit the ground running in a new job and new team. I’m an out-going person who thinks out-of-the-box to find creative solutions to communication needs. As someone who has spent her life working in a variety of countries, I thrive in a multi-cultural environment. English is my native tongue; I also speak German fluently and I’m learning Romontsch.
I recently returned to Zurich to be with my husband and I’m looking for new challenges. I look forward to hearing from you. Check my website or simply ask to see some writing samples.
Best regards,
Alison Langley
