Liz Sidoti, Managing Dir-Abernathy MacGregor

Liz is a public affairs, communications and reputation strategist with two decades of experience navigating politics and government, the media and highly regulated industries, and corporate and nonprofit sectors. She helps global organizations, particularly those facing reputational challenges in an increasingly unpredictable era, run campaigns to change stakeholder attitudes. Her experience spans a range of sectors, including health care, financial services, energy, technology, retail, consumer packaged goods, food and beverage, utilities and manufacturing. Both a leader and a manager, she understands the nexus of business, public policy and news. She steers organizations through such complicated dynamics to protect, repair and improve their reputations and accomplish strategic objectives by mitigating risks and seizing opportunities. Passionate about talent recruitment and professional development, she has run cross-functional teams of up to 75 people on U.S. and worldwide projects. She is an expert in crisis response, from covering breaking news to overseeing incident communications, and she has experience in litigation, regulatory and legislative advocacy. She also teaches a graduate-level course she developed about public policy in the private sector. And she brings a Midwesterner’s work ethic, a journalist’s candor and an athlete’s energy to everything she does. Liz currently lives in Alexandria, VA with her husband Andy Davis, a 1993 Kent Roosevelt HS grad who now works at the Cato Institute in Washington and their little girl, Norah Quinn Davis, who was born in May 2020.
