Testimonials

"Strahan is one of the best advisors I've worked with. His ability to navigate the most challenging crises with smart ideas and strategies while remaining calm and personable is something I have appreciated immensely. I've been in the trenches with him and his ability to rise above the noise, work collaboratively and constructively alongside all stakeholders from the board, the staff, the media and external stakeholders, make him someone whose advice I highly value."
Harvey Mason jr. CEO, The Recording Academy & CEO, Harvey Mason Media 2024
