Executive Class Connects Presents The Visibility Factor Presented by Mack McKelvey, Founder & CEO, SalientMG

Did you know that 81% of executives say that the CEO needs to have a visible public profile for a company to be highly regarded? Or that 45% of a brand’s overall reputational worth is based on its CEO’s reputation? And 89% of decision-makers said thought leadership is effective in enhancing their perception of an organization?

Those stats are from a 2021 LinkedIn/Edelman B2B Thought Leadership Impact Report and they underscore the value that Executive Visibility brings to a company. It’s not vanity, it’s what we call the Visibility Factor.

Mack McKelvey, Founder/CEO, SalientMG will join She Runs It on July 19th from 1-2 p.m. ET to discuss the two sides of Executive Visibility: Thought Leadership and Communications. For nearly 10 years, SalientMG has positioned dozens of women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and disabled executives as experts in their respective industries. Attendees will learn both the art and science of executive visibility and most importantly, how to get started.
