Background

About Mark Veverka

I am a former journalist with more than 25 years of experience and now a seasoned communications executive, specializing in crisis, financial, and other strategic communications. I am a partner in the San Francisco office of FGS Global, a combination of Sard Verbinnen & Co and Finsbury Glover Hering. As the name suggests, FGS is a global strategic communications and public policy concern based in New York with 26 offices worldwide. I joined FGS (then Sard) after nearly seven years of total experience as the San Francisco office head of Sitrick And Company, a national strategic communications firm where I focused on litigation support and communications strategy for technology companies. I leveraged my journalism experience - including 13 years as West Coast Editor and Technology Columnist at Barron's - to advocate for my clients in the court of public opinion. I have worked for clients big and small, ranging from Toshiba to individual CEOs. In addition to Barron's, I was a staff writer for The Wall Street Journal and financial columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle among other outlets. I was also a regular on-air contributor to CNBC and Fox Business. My reporting spanned beyond business, ranging from politics to sports to foreign affairs. My first full-time job was as an on-air television reporter for public television, and my first media pay check came in college as a color commentator for Oklahoma Sooner football games on the radio.
