Erin Dewey

ASSOCIATE

Deputy Chief of Staff
New York

Erin believes that understanding people is at the heart of effective communications. Knowing a client’s needs inside and out is what turns a good strategy into a great one and achieves results when it matters most.

Prior to August, Erin worked at ISS, a prominent proxy advisory firm, where she provided counsel on global corporate governance matters. She has developed ESG policy frameworks for multibillion-dollar asset managers and specialized investment firms, which has given her an appreciation for tailoring strategies to client objectives.

Through journalism, Erin discovered her love of writing. The art of shaping intricate real-time news stories into compelling narratives is what inspired her to help clients effectively tell their stories and navigate crises.

Erin loves a well-made latte and is on a mission to perfect her chocolate chip cookie recipe. She may be a Brit by birth, but she has grown to think of America as her side of the pond.
