"Strahan is one of the best advisors I've worked with. His ability to navigate the most challenging crises with smart ideas and strategies while remaining calm and personable is something I have appreciated immensely. I've been in the trenches with him and his ability to rise above the noise, work collaboratively and constructively alongside all stakeholders from the board, the staff, the media and external stakeholders, make him someone whose advice I highly value."

"Strahan Wallis is described as one of the stand-out practitioners of his generation…He has led and been involved with some of the most challenging communication issues in modern times. He sits at the decision-making table, participating in developing the ‘answers’ as well as ‘communicating’ them.”
