Marina Hoffmann — CEO
As an award-winning, trusted, and dynamic public affairs and communications executive, I have significant experience directing corporate-wide communications and thought leadership for Fortune 500 companies. My multilingual global media relations experience with C-suite and strategic communications enables me to achieve results proactively and reactively. As my leader once said, “Even on the busiest days, Marina is the epitome of grace under fire.” Navigating simultaneous initiatives efficiently, I pride myself in securing positive outcomes by partnering with executives and global teams to lead international events, shareholder meetings, public and media engagements, employee communications, and crisis management. Top leadership and peers have voiced that I demonstrate impeccable judgment on the toughest subjects. I build strong relationships with the media and develop creative campaigns for consumer businesses. During my tenure at American Express, I partnered closely with the CEO to strategically craft narratives for internal and external audiences. I unraveled complex issues as a global crisis management authority and navigated high-stake financial and corporate communications for critical reputational issues, including those dealing with cybersecurity, privacy, philanthropic activities, and corporate brand image. I helped American Express manage through challenges including the financial crisis and Covid-19 and became a resident expert on a range of policy issues relating to privacy and online data protection. I have a passion for building and empowering teams to bolster business goals. By championing people’s successes, I have a great reputation as a manager, mentor, and developer of people. I cultivate trusted relationships that span departments and functions to attain collaborative wins.
