Howard Tomb

For more than 30 years, Howard has conceived, planned and created communications to change the thinking and behavior of audiences from frontline workers to senior executives along with consumers, legislators, regulators, the media, voters and children.

As a senior communications advisor to McKinsey, KPMG and other firms, he crafts thought leadership and helps consulting teams and their clients around the world engage stakeholders, build trust and achieve tactical and strategic goals. High-stakes projects include mergers and acquisitions, public advocacy, and reputational challenges.

His science books for children were published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux and Simon & Schuster; his seven humorous language guides, published by Workman, sold more than a million copies in another century when Americans routinely read words printed on paper. His adventure travel feature stories and opinion pieces have appeared in the New York Times and many other publications. He recently produced a documentary on racial profiling by the police in Philadelphia that won accolades at more than a dozen film festivals across the country.

Howard earned his BA in literature from U.C. Santa Cruz and his MBA from Columbia. He is an expert skier and scuba diver, a novice kite surfer, and an experienced outdoorsman, having climbed the tallest peaks in North America and Europe and been bitten by a wide array of wild animals.
