Vice President, Client Services

Kristen joined Ascent Strategic Communications at the beginning of 2023 and brings over a decade of experience in management. As a Vice President in Client Services, she oversees communication strategies for some of Ascent Strategic Communications’s key B2B, real estate, and C-suite executive clients.

Originally from Maryland, Kristen graduated from Virginia Tech with a B.S. in Finance and went on to work for Vanguard in Charlotte, North Carolina. Her background serving clients as a licensed investment broker and eventually in management, where she led client facing teams and supported department-level strategy, has helped Kristen develop a skill set of leveraging effective communication methods to achieve business goals.
