I have spent more than three decades building, leading, and stewarding organizations at the intersection of business, public trust, and civic life.

More than 30 years ago, I founded a regional marketing communications firm, now called Garrand Moehlenkamp, and served as its sole owner until its successful sale in 2021. Over that period, my work encompassed international and national brand strategy, public policy and political strategy, regional economic development, and long-term positioning for regulated public utilities — often in environments where reputation, governance, and public accountability were inseparable.

Alongside private enterprise, I have held public and diplomatic responsibilities, including appointment as Honorary Consul of Canada in New England. In addition, I have served in leadership and fiduciary roles on nonprofit, arts, and university boards, including transportation, public media, international trade, and global environmental advocacy — experiences that have deepenedmy understanding of governance, stewardship, and public accountability.
