Renee Austin

Renee has a passion for storytelling that shapes perceptions, sparks emotion and incites action. And her 25+ years of experience is all about storytelling – in all forms and channels – to shape corporate reputations and brands.

Trusted by the C-suite, Renee counsels clients on corporate reputation and branding, executive communications and thought leadership, employee engagement and crisis communications. She has led corporate work for some of the world’s leading brands in technology, healthcare and consumer, including Apple, Samsung, IBM, Abbott, Merck, Stryker, Royal Caribbean, American Airlines, ExxonMobil and MasterCard.

Her arsenal of corporate experience also includes social impact and employee engagement expertise.

Outside of work, she has been deeply involved with JDRF, including speaking, fundraising and even composing and performing an original song “A Mother’s Wish” to share her dreams for her son’s life and health (because music after all, is the ultimate form of storytelling). In her free time, she enjoys traveling to see her three (mostly) grown children, interesting food, good wine and, of course, a great story.
