Kathleen Jeanty is an award-winning communications strategist with more than 25 years of experience helping organizations clarify complex ideas, engage stakeholders and translate meaningful results into communications that build understanding and inspire action.

Her career spans public health, global health, international development, education, government, nonprofits and business. She has led integrated communications, media relations, stakeholder engagement, knowledge management and event initiatives for organizations of different sizes and at different stages of growth. Her work has supported programs and teams in the United States, Haiti, Benin, Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Niger, Senegal and Togo.

Kathleen has worked with organizations including AstraZeneca, Chemonics International, DAI and the National Coalition of STD Directors.

She founded InnerLeaf Communications to bring strategic communications thinking together with the operational discipline required to sustain it. Her approach recognizes that strong outcomes depend on more than a good plan. They require clear priorities, workable processes, appropriate capacity, accessible information, thoughtful technology and accountability across the organization.

Haitian-born and multilingual, Kathleen is deeply committed to amplifying underrepresented voices and building communications that respect culture, context and community knowledge. She holds a Master of Science in Health Communication from Boston University and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Babson College.
