Why Star Thrower?

We bring 20+ years of deep expertise in internal communication and change management. Unlike many consultants, we’ve been in the trenches—leading communications on both sides of an acquisition.

​

At my previous company, I directed communication strategies during a large private equity merger that doubled the company’s size. I understand firsthand the complexities of integrating cultures, managing employee uncertainty, and ensuring that critical talent stays engaged.

​

Our proven approach ensures your people remain informed, engaged, and aligned from Day 1 to full integration—safeguarding your deal's value every step of the way.
