Prior to his creation of Bernstein Communications in 1994, Mr. Bernstein had international-level experience as senior vice president and director of the Crisis Communications Group for Ruder Finn, Inc, one of the world's largest public relations agencies. When Bernstein created the crisis specialty group for Ruder Finn, it was the first such profit center established at any of the country's top 20 PR firms.
His past experience includes corporate, agency and non-profit public relations positions, preceded by five years of investigative and feature journalism -- to include a stint with investigative reporter/columnist Jack Anderson. He has served clients in virtually every industry, to include many years working with real estate giants such as the Lyle Anderson Companies, Del Webb Corporation and WCI Communities.
Bernstein is publisher and editor of "Crisis Manager," an email newsletter written for "those who are crisis managers whether they want to be or not," currently read in 27 countries. He is a frequent writer, public speaker, trainer and media source about his areas of expertise and, when not in the office, enjoys spending time with his wife and four children, as well as playing and writing about the sport of paintball and performing folk music.
