“The right speech on the right topic delivered by the right speaker in the right way at the right moment … can ignite a fire, change men’s minds, open their eyes, alter their votes, bring hope to their lives, and, in all these ways, change the world. I know. I saw it happen.”
- Ted Sorensen, Speechwriter to President Kennedy
In a cluttered media landscape, there are few ways to break through the noise like a well-crafted speech.
Now it’s almost time - you’ve circled the day on your calendar for your big moment on stage. This is your opportunity to make the most of it.
I’m a Senior Director in the speechwriting and executive communications practice at Bully Pulpit International (BPI), an outcomes agency at the intersection of business, politics, and policy. Born in politics and founded by leaders of the Obama campaign, we apply our unique expertise to create sophisticated and customized strategies for companies, causes, and candidates.
I bring over 15 years of experience as a speechwriter and executive communications consultant to a range of business/tech leaders and senior officials across the Obama and Biden Administrations. I’ve helped clients to leave a lasting impression - and leave audiences cheering, thinking, and taking action.

About Daron
I've written for a range of high-profile figures in government and business, ranging from Cabinet Secretaries and Ambassadors to senior executives at Fortune 500 Companies. I work efficiently and creatively under tight deadlines to help clients from around the globe maximize their time at the podium.
My Promise
The best speeches are collaborations. I'll work with you to find time to discuss your vision for your event - who the audience is, your key message, and what goal you hope to accomplish.
I pride myself on my research abilities. The fun part of speechwriting is looking at the world through someone else's eyes - the more information you can provide me, the easier I'm able to capture your voice.
Upon delivery of a first draft (always delivered before deadline), I will continue to work with you to fine-tune your remarks until you are completely satisfied.
“Boom! You really hit the mark. I’m very happy with your work here. You have a habit of over-delivering.”
“Lovely working with Daron! Would definitely work with him in the future.”
“It’s saving us that your preparation is so good and clear. Thanks again for all the terrific work.”

“Daron was a consummate professional throughout our time working together. He needed little direction, always turned in work on time or ahead of time, and took the time to understand expectations and preferences so that the project could move along quickly and effectively. I had no concerns putting him in a room with executives, which was also a big help in moving the project along efficiently. He was really good at going with the flow, and took feedback well. I’d hire Daron again!”
