Strategic counsel. Disciplined execution.

Clarity from the high ground

Organizations often face communications challenges without having the leadership capacity they need.

I serve as a fractional, interim, and advisory Chief Communications Officer for GovCon and cyber, as well as private-equity firms building value across their portfolios. When growth, transition, competition, reputation, or market positioning raises the stakes, I provide senior leadership and counsel.

Practice & Method

Fractional CCO

Senior-level communications leadership embedded in your organization – providing both strategic direction and hands on execution without building a full internal function.

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 focused five-phase methodology. It establishes the high ground, then drives clarity through positioning, execution, and observation.

Deer Point Communications was founded in 2026 by Michael Teegardin — former corporate CCO, government communications leader, and U.S. Army soldier.
