Having started her career in commercial advertising leading campaigns for brands such as Jaguar Land Rover, IKEA, and Nissan she has spent the last six years of her career applying her expertise to strategic communications. During this time, Claire has managed teams across multiple countries to deliver best-in-class domestic and international communications campaigns in more than 30 countries for the US, UK, and Australian governments. Previous campaigns have focused on resilience and stabilisation efforts in some of the world's most challenging environments, where she is experienced in building and managing effective teams. She has extensive experience working on communications projects in conflict-affected states, including the Middle East and Eastern Europe, and is well-versed in working with on-the-ground teams to formulate tailored content for public-facing audiences.

Claire works across Atalanta’s client base to ensure effective and cost-efficient delivery of project objectives. Key to this success is her approach to building successful teams and designing processes tailored to each client’s particular circumstances. She has extensive experience in project management of complex programmes and coordinating multiple stakeholder groups.
