Founder

Kristen D. Andriola Behar
Founder and PrincipalI've spent my career impacting behavior through design, communications, marketing, and direct engagement. I can help you improve your company's ethics and compliance communications strategies. Not being a lawyer has been an advantage, especially having worked alongside them for nearly 20 years. I have been privileged to craft their words into something that employees will read and use.
Fun Fact
Before I was old enough to drive, I piloted planes in High School as part of a free semester-long course at my public school. We even flew to Connecticut for brunch from a little airport on Long Island. Few girls took the class, but that didn't stop me in the least.
