“As Julie's executive coach, I had the privilege of working with a communications strategist who brings exceptional authenticity to corporate storytelling. What distinguishes Julie is her ability to help organizations find and articulate their true purpose, moving beyond standard corporate messaging to create genuine connections with stakeholders. Through our coaching relationship, I witnessed her talent for helping clients navigate complex communications challenges with both strategic insight and practical wisdom. Her approach, shaped by extensive experience in corporate affairs and animal health, enables organizations to build trust while driving meaningful engagement. Whether managing crisis communications or developing strategic narratives, Julie consistently demonstrates an ability to align purpose with impact. I confidently recommend Julie to any organization seeking to elevate their communications strategy. Her combination of strategic vision and authentic approach makes her an invaluable partner for organizations wanting to build meaningful connections with their audiences.”

This purpose-driven, shared value initiative began in 2017 with the support of a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. At the start of 2021, Elanco integrated the business in East Africa into its commercial operations, as the initiative has become both profitable and independently sustainable. The effort is part of Elanco’s Healthy Purpose™ sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework and illustrates Elanco’s perspective on animals’ role as a solution to two of society’s greatest challenges - hunger and climate change.
