Bio
Sidharth Oberoi
Emma is an extraordinary collaborator that helps teams feel empowered. From leadership on down to individual contributors, Emma is excellent at ensuring that everyone has their voices heard and able to constructively feel a part of the culture. She is amazing at developing fully formed communications strategies for anything like new product launches, entry of an organisation to a new region, global events, and everything in between. She understands the importance of developing relationships at high levels in order to garner traction for future success. Emma has always been willing to raise her hand to sign up for additional responsibilities and excels in every direction that she's been tasked with. I truly admired her capabilities and contributions on our leadership team and will miss having her as a part of our organisation. She will be an incredible asset to any company and I wholeheartedly recommend her for any role as a communications leader.

Whether GTM, crisis management, internal comms, tactical or strategic Emma was and is just exceptional. She made an immediate impact when joining us and was instrumental in supporting our new market growth. Her ability to guide, advise, pivot etc came to the forefront during Covid-19. She was a sea of calm and dealt with the many different facets of this emergency professionally and efficiently. Yet Emma was still able to deliver against the day job which included managing and nurturing the many different global stakeholders. I and our business could not have asked for a better business partner.
