Stephen Grant has spent 30 years helping business leaders find the language that connects strategy to action— advising CEOs and senior leadership teams at Fortune-ranked companies and leading organizations across the U.S., U.K., Europe, the Middle East, and Asia on complex and consequential assignments.
For seven years he served as one of PricewaterhouseCoopers' most senior independent narrative advisors — working across nearly 50 teams and 18 industry verticals before moving to the firm's most consequential strategic priorities: global transformation, leadership alignment, workforce reorganization, and the governing language behind PwC's most visible and high-stakes communications.

For a decade Stephen served as Chief Communications Officer at Hillard Heintze — one of the country's fastest-growing privately held security and risk advisory firms and a three-time Inc. 500 company. He built the frameworks, tools, and branded intellectual property that defined how the firm communicated — to clients, to the market, and to itself. When the firm was acquired in 2019, CEO Arnette Heintze cited the communications infrastructure and branded IP as direct contributors to the transaction value. "He helped define our identity as a firm and articulate why we were different. He gave us the communication edge we needed to be recognized for excellence."
