Michelle Jones has spent her career in the moments when everything is changing.

A new CEO steps in.
A company splits apart or comes together.
Growth outpaces the systems meant to support it.

In those moments, what leaders say—and how they say it—matters.

Michelle has been the one helping them get it right.

As a Chief Communications Officer and trusted advisor to Fortune 500 CEOs, she has worked at the center of transformation, where strategy, culture, and reputation collide. She’s led communications through more than 30 acquisitions and integrations, shaped corporate brands from the ground up, and guided organizations through the kind of change that doesn’t come with a playbook.

Her strength is knowing how to make sense of it all. She helps leaders cut through complexity, align around what matters, and communicate in a way people can understand and act on.

Before joining Strategy Muse, Michelle served as Chief Communications Officer at organizations including Jacobs, CH2M, Freeman, and Covansys, and led investor relations, marketing, and communications at scale.

At Strategy Muse, she continues to work in high-stakes moments. Most recently, she led global change efforts for a biotech company scaling its G&A functions to support more than 900% growth.

She’s known for bringing clarity when things are moving fast and for helping leaders say what needs to be said when it matters most.

From June through September, you never quite know where Michelle will be logging in from—proving that remote work can sometimes come with a much better view. Her adventurous spirit—which has taken her to places ranging from Telluride, CO to Grand Marais, MN—reflects the same curiosity, adaptability, and energy she brings to every client engagement.
