I'm Mitchell Craft, a strategic communications consultant and fractional Chief Communications Officer for companies facing pivotal moments—fundraising, transformation, crises, and market-defining announcements.

My work focuses on communications that drive measurable business results. At Pivot Bio, I grew media reach by 440% while securing multiple top-tier awards, including TIME Best Inventions, Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies, and CNBC Disruptor 50. At PepsiCo, my communications strategies generated 7 billion media impressions for the launch of CEO Ramon Laguarta's PepsiCo Positive transformation.

I’ve secured coverage in The New York Times, Bloomberg, Financial Times, and Reuters and prepared executives for appearances at the World Economic Forum, TED conferences, and Congress, while helping them navigate issues at the intersection of innovation, regulation, and geopolitics.

Whether building communications strategy from the ground up, guiding companies through high-stakes transitions, or managing crisis response where messaging impacts enterprise value, my focus remains on delivering outcomes that matter to investors and stakeholders. As projects scale, I have a network of specialists who help me execute to the highest standards.

I live in the Chicagoland area with my wife Lexi, two kids, and our dog Doug.
