Jeanne M. Salvatore founded JMS Consulting in 2018 after serving in a leadership capacity at the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) for nearly 30 years. She brings to JMS Consulting very special skills such as handling crisis communications, media relations, experience as an on air spokesperson and advisor to both c-suite executives and aspiring communications professionals. She is also a certified life and executive coach.
In her tenure at the I.I.I., she played a critical role in building the organization into the highly effective multi-media organization it is today. She was the I.I.I.’s chief communications officer and it is primary spokesperson appearing frequently on broadcast media to represent the property/casualty insurance industry.
As a spokesperson, she communicated complex insurance information into simple consumer-facing language to educate the public on what insurance is and how it works. An important part of her responsibility was focused on communicating what to do before, during and after a disaster.
She worked closely with the CEOs, the chief communications officers and the general counsels of the leading national/international insurance companies as well as state and federal government agencies and non-profits focused on safety and disaster preparedness.
