Patty is founder of Treehouse Counsel, an Atlanta-based advisory, delivering value at the intersection of business strategy and communications.
With nearly four decades of diverse, transferable consulting experience, the common theme of her work is motivating stakeholders.
Whether internally or externally facing, her work resolves say/do dissonance causing friction, reducing trust, and demotivating stakeholders. With genuine language and aligned behaviors, she helps turn people into believers and active advocates.
As one of a global cohort of Certified Conscious Capitalism Consultants, Patty helps companies operate — and build reputations — as stakeholder-oriented, purpose-led leaders that are good for the world. This international approach is proven to drive profitability and resilience.
Patty’s five-agency career includes 14 years in leadership with Edelman. There she founded and led the Atlanta corporate practice, stewarded best practices across the Americas, and worked on the annual Edelman Trust Barometer research, guiding clients on how to build trust.
Patty is a board member for the Inspire Brands Foundation, Trees Atlanta, the College of Charleston College of Communications, and Conscious Capitalism. She’s a member of 1% for the Planet.
