The Director
A Crisis Communications Specialist
“The first time we hear from a company is often when their hair is on fire and the survival of the company is at risk. With 15 years’ experience managing crises for organizations large and small, I work with company executives and legal counsel to resolve the crisis as quickly and successfully as possible. I also conduct media and presentation training for company executives to ensure their messages are focused and credible when it matters most.”
When BNSF Railway was initially defeated in siting a major fueling facility in North Idaho, they turned to Jeffrey Bell to build and implement a winning public affairs strategy that brought ultimate success for the client.
