Background

About Nikki Glanton

I’m a Communications Executive who helps leaders, government agencies, and nonprofits communicate with heart, clarity, and impact — especially in the spaces where trust must be earned and alignment built from the ground up. With more than 20 years of experience leading communications across the federal, public, private, and nonprofit sectors, I’ve advised CEOs, board chairs, political leaders, and commanding generals through high-stakes moments of growth, change, and crisis. Before entering the civilian sector, I served 21.5 years of active duty in the U.S. Army, leading public affairs and strategic communications efforts at the federal level and in combat environments. That experience shaped my ability to navigate complexity, maintain composure under pressure, and deliver messages that move people — not just manage them. Since transitioning from the military, I’ve built and scaled communications functions from scratch, guided organizations through transformation, and united cross-sector partners to achieve measurable results. Today, I combine military precision, executive strategy, and human connection to help clients strengthen reputation, alignment, and trust. While I leverage AI and emerging tools to accelerate clarity and reach, I believe influencing people and winning trust will always remain a human endeavor. Currently serving as Vice President of Communications & Public Affairs for one of the nation’s top public safety nonprofits, I lead campaigns that unite business, government, and community toward a safer, stronger Atlanta. Whether advising a government agency on crisis communications, helping a nonprofit clarify its message, or coaching leaders to show up with authenticity and influence, my mission remains the same — To build brands that win hearts and minds.#Impact #Empower #Serve #CommunicateWithPurpose
