• Prepare the Founder for interviews, panels, podcasts, and public appearances.
• Own and shape the Founder's social presence (especially LinkedIn) through insight-driven, POV-led content.
• Build the Founder's profile as a global voice in AI, automation, and industry transformation.

4. Crisis & Reputation Management

• Design and maintain crisis communication frameworks and response protocols.
