About Daron

I'm a speechwriter and executive communications consultant based in New York City. I help senior leaders craft strategic messaging, tell creative stories, and leave lasting impressions with audiences at events around the globe.

I have served as a speechwriter to senior leaders at a wide range of organizations, including VMware, the World Bank, the African Development Bank, the American Association of State Colleges, and multiple agencies under the Obama-Biden Administrations including State, Energy, and Veterans Affairs. I have ghostwritten pieces for clients in the pages of Rolling Stone, Fast Company, Inc, and other leading publications. 

I also am available for a range of ghostwriting support, including helping you to craft compelling editorials and blog posts. In addition, I bring experience in helping you to identify the highest impact events to ensure that you are using your time as strategically as possible.

As a member of Washington Writers Network and the Professional Speechwriters Association, I have often tackled projects focused on clean energy, technology, and business strategy, but I'm adept at writing and quickly getting up to speed on a wide range of topics.  

I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University’s H. John Heinz III College, where I earned a Master of Science in Public Policy and Management. I have also guest lectured on the nuts and bolts of speechwriting at American University in Washington. 

I bring an international perspective to my work, having served as a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa and beginning my communications career as a speechwriter and policy advisor for an ambassador at the U.S. State Department.
