Janet Reingold

President and Founder

A seasoned authority on strategic communications, change management, and leadership mobilization, Janet Reingold lends guidance and oversight to many Reingold campaigns as well as the projects she manages herself. She has led dozens of organizations through a systematic process of defining who they are and what they want to accomplish—and then determining which audiences they need to reach to achieve their goals.

Clients tell us that Janet has an uncanny ability to home in on the capabilities, qualities, and values that set an organization apart and encapsulate them in a compelling and memorable message. In addition to authoring more than 95 publications for a host of organizations, she has helped shape her clients’ identities, produced their marketing strategies, launched their communications and advertising campaigns, and managed their media, public, and member relations efforts.

Janet has won national media attention for her clients’ causes and positioned them to receive millions of dollars in earned income and contributions. She herself has been quoted in The New York Times, Time Magazine, Newsweek, BusinessWeek, and Nation’s Business.

Before she founded Reingold in 1985, Janet was an executive in the U.S. Department of Labor, serving as acting deputy administrator for the Office of Strategic Planning and Policy Development; editor of the President’s Employment and Training Report, and manager of the Vice President’s Task Force on Youth Employment. She has written for two Presidents, four Vice Presidents, 10 Cabinet Secretaries, and McGruff the Crime Dog.
