Strategic communications and organizational alignment for higher education and mission-driven organizations

E. Shekhman Consulting is a strategic communications and organizational development consultancy that helps mission-driven organizations—across higher education, healthcare, and philanthropy—translate vision into coordinated action. We strengthen institutional reputation by aligning strategy, messaging, and operations—ensuring that every initiative, partnership, and communication reflects organizational clarity and purpose.
Our work bridges internal communications, strategy, and organizational planning. In higher education, that often means starting with Student Affairs—the division most closely tied to daily student life—then expanding to enrollment, advancement, and leadership. In healthcare and other mission-driven organizations, it means connecting patient, staff, and community experiences to the same shared story. Through this collaborative process, we help identify gaps, align priorities, and design strategies that connect vision with execution.
At the core of our approach is a commitment to clarity, accountability, and measurable progress—helping institutions tell a unified story and deliver on it every day.
With more than two decades of experience in marketing, communications, and organizational strategy, I help institutions and organizations connect planning with execution. As both strategist and partner, I bring a structured approach to decision-making, stakeholder engagement, and implementation that turns complex goals into tangible outcomes.
My work spans higher education, healthcare, and mission-driven organizations—guiding leadership teams to align priorities, strengthen reputation, and build systems that sustain performance and trust. Through practical, data-informed frameworks, I help clients translate strategic intent into consistent action across the institution.
