Hanna has a rare ability to bring order to complexity, see around corners, and translate strategy into action without losing sight of the details. She earns trust quickly, is calm under pressure, and has the judgment, operational instincts, and leadership qualities that exceptional leaders share.
Cutler Andrews — Chief Strategy Officer, Ideas United | Former Senior Associate Vice President, Engagement, Communications & Marketing, Emory University
Hanna never thinks in terms of a single experience or channel. She thinks holistically, weaving communications, digital storytelling, and experience design into one strategy built to engage and inspire, not just inform. That work also means real coalition building and executive leadership – Hanna partners with leaders at every level, bringing together people who don’t usually work side by side.
Ken Carter — Former Interim Dean, Oxford College | Professor of Psychology, Emory University
Hanna is organized, unflappable, and has a gift for getting the hardest things done. I’ve seen her turn high-stakes moments – from public conversations to digital storytelling – into enduring moments of excellence. What stands out is her brilliance. She has the vision to see the big picture, and the execution to manage the essential, granular,
and sometimes unglamorous work.
