Andy Coulson

Andy Coulson is the former Downing Street Communications Director, newspaper editor, Founder of Coulson Partners - delivering strategic corporate reputation and crisis advice for corporate leaders and high profile individuals - and host of the Crisis What Crisis? podcast.

He is a sought after and trusted personal adviser to global CEOs, entrepreneurs and philanthropists and has counselled a number of high-profile companies and individuals through complex challenges. His deep understanding of media and politics, how public opinion is formed and what to do when faced with significant problems, comes from a 30-year career shaped by success and challenge.

Andy directly advised former Prime Minister David Cameron up to and during the 2010 General Election campaign and the coalition cabinet through its first year in power, and was Editor of the UK’s biggest selling Sunday newspaper, the News of the World.

‘Whether I’m sitting with clients now, or when I used to be sitting with the prime minister, the principle is the same: when somebody trusts you, you’ll be asked for your advice, and that’s a wonderful place to be. Our expertise and approach set us apart ... and make us an invaluable ally at your side.’

Andy’s Crisis What Crisis? podcast is a collection of compelling conversations with crisis survivors who share transferable lessons on developing resilience to help listeners navigate life’s inevitable challenges.
