He is adept at helping all companies build a newsworthy media narrative, building the profile of senior executives and spokespeople, helping them identify and own market issues, building relationships with the media, and increasing client’s footprints in the business and vertical trade publications. Evan graduated cum-laude with a Master of Science degree in Business Continuity from Norwich University - a military university, in Vermont, USA.
