Strategic counsel. Disciplined execution.

Clarity from the high ground

I work with CEOs and executive leadership teams as a Fractional or Interim Chief Communications Officer, or as a strategic advisor — aligning communications, public affairs, and stakeholder engagement with business strategy.

Practice & Method

FractionaL CCO

Senior-level communications and public affairs leadership — strategic counsel, executive direction, and hands-on execution. Positioning, leadership messaging, M&A communications, and preparing the executives who have to deliver the message.

Private Equity

Communications as a value-creation lever for private-equity operating partners and their portfolio companies. M&A integration, repositioning, crisis, and exit-narrative leadership across the hold.

GovCon

Communications and strategic positioning support for defense and federal programs, delivered through an SBA-certified VOSB with an active Top Secret clearance.
Available as a prime or subcontractor.

Vantage Point Process™

Every engagement runs through my five-phase methodology. It establishes the high ground, then drives clarity through positioning, execution, and observation.

Deer Point Communications was founded by Michael Teegardin — former Chief Communications Officer at ASRC Federal, Vice President of Communications at BAE Systems, and a U.S. Army veteran.
