I've spent my career getting startups noticed.

From Series A startups through acquisition, I bring impactful storytelling, executive visibility, and media engagement, backed by a data-driven, AI-enhanced approach that turns insight into narratives that actually land.

THE NAME BEHIND THE NAME

Neon Comms & PR is built on the idea of illumination — bringing brands, founders, and thought leaders into the spotlight. The name is inspired by the element Neon (Ne), from the Greek "neos," meaning "new." Neon is a noble gas known for its bright, unmistakable glow. When it was first discovered, scientists described it as "a blaze of crimson light... a sight to dwell upon and never forget." That's exactly the kind of presence I help clients create: memorable, impactful, and impossible to ignore.
