I am a PR and social media expert and founder of Elkordy Global Strategies.
Over the past 20+ years, I've worked in both journalism and public relations, helping more than 800 startups, growth-stage companies, nonprofits, government agencies, e-commerce brands, books, and thought leaders raise their visibility, build credibility, and grow their brands.
What makes Elkordy Global Strategies different is that we're part newsroom, part PR agency. More than half of our team are former journalists, and I still produce a daily national television news show. We understand what reporters, producers, and editors are looking for because we've been on the other side of the pitch.
I've worked with Fortune 500 companies, startups, personal brands, nonprofits, healthcare organizations, technology companies, and executives across nearly every industry. Whether you're launching a company, building your personal brand, securing media coverage, navigating a crisis, or positioning yourself as a thought leader, we know how to get your story in front of the right audience.
Our clients have been featured in Fox News, CNN, Bloomberg, NewsNation, The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo Finance, Business Insider, ABC News, Good Morning America, TODAY, USA Today, The Associated Press, The New York Times, MSNBC, BBC, Sky News, TechCrunch, Mashable, The Hill, CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Real Simple, Al Jazeera, CNN Español, CGTN, Voice of America, and hundreds of other national, international, broadcast, print, and digital media outlets.
What can we do for you?
We're a one-stop PR shop. We help clients with:
• Earned media outreach and media relations
• Thought leadership and executive positioning
• Personal branding and executive visibility
• Social media strategy and management
• Content creation and content marketing
• Podcast production and guest booking
• Speaking opportunities and conference placements
• Crisis communications and reputation management
• Digital media strategy and execution
• Product launches and campaign development
• Strategic communications planning and messaging
Additional credentials include being a TEDx speaker, a City & State 40 Under 40 honoree, and a 2026 recipient of City & State's Unsung Heroes Award. Elkordy Global Strategies was recognized by PRNEWS as one of the Top PR Firms of 2025, and I have been a featured speaker at DC Startup Week multiple times.
I hold an MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a Master's degree in Communications and Public Relations from Georgetown University, and most recently completed a Master's degree in International Strategy and Diplomacy from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
If you're looking for a team that understands both the media and business sides of communications, we'd love to help!

Most executives have the experience to be industry voices. What they're missing is the system to get there.
I build that system.
I'm a strategic communications consultant specializing in executive thought leadership, LinkedIn strategy, and corporate reputation. For the past 8 years I've worked with C-suite leaders, multinational companies, and industry organizations across Latin America, the U.S., and Europe, helping them turn complex ideas into clear positioning, credible authority, and measurable visibility.
My work is especially valuable in high-stakes moments: expansions, leadership transitions, alliance announcements, sustainability narratives, and reputation-sensitive environments where generic messaging is dangerous.
What I do
✓ Executive thought leadership & LinkedIn strategy
✓ LinkedIn profile optimization & content systems for leaders
✓ Corporate and brand positioning
✓ Reputation & crisis communication
✓ Strategic content: speeches, op-eds, CEO communications, messaging frameworks
✓ Market research, competitive analysis & social listening
✓ Communication strategy for expansions, alliances & organizational change
You'll find my work especially valuable if you are:
→ An executive looking to build a credible LinkedIn presence that generates real business opportunities
→ A company navigating expansion, a strategic alliance, or a leadership transition
→ A brand managing reputational pressure in a regulated or sensitive industry
→ A communications team that needs research and strategy
Results I've delivered
I measure my work by outcomes, not outputs:
✔ Led end-to-end communication strategy for the Grupo Piñero–Hyatt alliance announcement coordinating across legal, PR, and corporate affairs teams. Coverage was 100% favorable across Spanish financial media including Forbes España and Expansión
✔ Built LinkedIn ecosystems for C-suite executives at Progreso (Guatemala) and BTG Pactual Colombia, driving 35–60% annual community growth and 5,000–10,000 newsletter subscribers per executive within the first year
✔ Led a sustainability communication campaign that improved brand sentiment by 93% in one month, measured through Social Net Promoter Score
✔ Designed the digital content strategy for Noticias Caracol, positioning it as the leading outlet in video views and engagement during Colombia's 2023 regional elections
✔ Coordinated executive advocacy programs with 150+ employees for Banco Atlántida (Honduras)
How I work
1. Positioning audit
Where do you stand, where do you need to be, and what's actually blocking you
2. Communication system
Tone of voice, core messages, storytelling pillars, content cadence, and channel strategy
3. Execution
Strategic content production, performance tracking, and continuous refinement
4. Visibility with purpose
Thought leadership that really sounds like you
Industries I know well
Finance · Energy & Sustainability · Mining & Natural Resources · Construction · Media · Tourism · Family Enterprises · Agribusiness
Tools

One of the proudest moments in my career came when the marketing director of a supply chain tech client I was working with told me, "You just explained our solutions better than I could, and I helped build the damn thing."
It’s humbling and affirming to hear something like that because it's what I pride myself on most. And affirms that I’m very good at what I do: taking the complicated stuff and making it make sense to the people who matter.
My career hasn't exactly been a straight line. I've sold a boxing website with over a million monthly visitors, lived overseas, analyzed Manhattan real estate markets, and helped Asian companies communicate their companies and value propositions to US investors. Then, almost by accident, I fell into everything from strategic communications to producing SEO-optimized content for finance, real estate, tech, pharma, and logistics and supply chain clients.
Through it all, I've discovered that clear communication drives results whether you pitch to VCs or truckers.
Yes, I've got a Harvard Master's degree and professional certificates to sell myself on (Dean's List honors and a 3.87 GPA), but my real value comes from translating jargon into stories that stick. I have the track record and references to back it up.
I'd love to help bring that same value to you. You won't regret it.
Let's talk soon.
