Paris Petrou

I deliver senior-level communications, PR, and AI strategy support to organizations that need clarity, credibility, and results, without adding a full-time headcount.

With 30+ years in media, public relations, marketing, and strategic communications, I help leaders and teams shape messages that land with the audiences that matter most. My work covers communications strategy, executive communications, media relations, crisis and issues support, stakeholder messaging, content development, and practical AI adoption.

I am also the author of The Small Business AI Playbook, a practical guide for business owners and teams who want to understand how AI can support their work without getting lost in hype, jargon, or tools they do not need. Through my AI consulting, I help organizations identify where AI can save time, improve communication, support content creation, and strengthen internal workflows. The focus is always practical: start with the problem, then choose the right AI approach.

I have led communications and marketing in complex, community-facing environments and I am comfortable working directly with executives, boards, partners, journalists, and internal teams. My style is practical and fast: I assess what is really happening, define the narrative, build the plan, and deliver the assets needed to execute.

My goal is simple: help your organization communicate with confidence, protect its reputation, build momentum, and use AI intelligently where it makes sense.

Available for part-time, fractional, consulting, and project-based mandates.
