Media Appearances
Expert crisis commentator
A major crisis is always big news and the media needs expert commentators who can quickly make sense of what is happening and shed light on the longer term ramifications.
Jonathan Hemus is an award winning crisis management expert who has advised leaders of business around the world as they confronted major crises. Not only that, he is also author of the best selling book ‘Crisis Proof: how to prepare for the worst day of your business life’, chair of Aston University’s Crisis Centre and a visiting lecturer at universities in Europe and North America.
He combines credibility with the ability to communicate with insight, simplicity and impact, bringing clarity and meaning to complex crisis situations. As a consequence, he is a regular interviewee for broadcast media including Al Jazeera, BBC TV News, BBC radio, Newsnight, CNBC and CNN.
