Bio
Nelli Stevenson
Fiona is a spectacular communicator. She has a wonderful way with words that manifests in everything she does, whether it is writing op-eds that floor the client and are syndicated hundreds of times, crafting clever and strategic media releases, or knowing the right thing to say around the office in crisis situations. She has superb stakeholder relations skills, and a real stand-out asset that sets her apart from those who excel in written communications is that Fiona also has impressive interpersonal communication skills. She is kind, calm and measured, and it has been a real joy to work alongside her at the Climate Council.
Victoria Sutton
Fiona is a first class communications manager. She works well under pressure, and can juggle multiple projects. She is excellent at spotting opportunities for media coverage and is quick to turn round any media enquiries, working with colleagues to deliver what is needed. She works well with those within and outside of the organisation, and is always approachable and supportive offering to 'pitch in' when needed. Her calm attitude and excellent sense of humour makes her a pleasure to work with.
