Corporate speechwriting
Executive & Leadership Speechwriter
When you lead, the words carry weight, and so does getting them wrong. A town hall, an all-hands, an AGM or a results-day address has to inform, reassure and move people, often all at once, and sound like you while doing it. I ghostwrite for leaders who don’t have the hours to write it themselves but can’t afford for it to fall flat.
The result is clear, human and persuasive, never corporate boilerplate, and always unmistakably your voice.
What you get
- A clear message under pressure, even when the news is complex or difficult.
- The human note, so people feel led, not managed.
- Your voice, ghostwritten, so it sounds like you on your best day.
- Discretion as standard, comfortable with sensitive, confidential and market-affecting material.
- A reliable partner who works to your deadline and your comms team’s process.
How it works
- We align on the message. The moment, the audience, the tone, and what has to land.
- I write the address. A complete, polished draft in your voice.
- We refine it together, with your team if helpful, until it’s ready to deliver.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with my comms or EA team?
Routinely. I slot into your process, brief with whoever you nominate, and keep versions and approvals clean.
How do you handle confidential or market-sensitive material?
With complete discretion, and under an NDA whenever you need one. It’s a normal part of the work.
Can you turn things around quickly?
Yes. Leadership moments rarely come with notice. Tell me the deadline and I’ll tell you straight away if I can meet it.
Will it sound like me?
That’s the whole point. I ghostwrite in your voice so colleagues hear you, not a script.
How is it priced?
Per project, or on a retained basis for ongoing work. Tell me what you need and I’ll propose terms.
Can’t I just use ChatGPT or AI?
You can, but brace yourself. I’ve tested it thoroughly: AI lists your facts in order, can’t judge what’s appropriate, and — fatally for a speech — it can’t be funny. It arranges words; it can’t find the story only you can tell or read a room. Here’s what happened when I put ChatGPT to the test →
