Quote

"Alan worked with me for 5 years as my corporate communications director at Afilias, handling everything from industry monitoring to releases to special press events. His deep experience and calm professionalism helped us avoid several potential difficulties. His experience in the security space was especially helpful, and his contact list is seemingly inexhaustible. Importantly, Alan would take on every job, no matter how small or large; we had a one person PR team and Alan took care of everything. He is even a great photographer! Alan is a dedicated professional who is great to work with and committed to "doing it right." I highly recommend him."
