About the Author

Andrew D. Gilman

Andrew Gilman, a lawyer and award winning journalist, is president of CommCore Consulting Group. He is co-author of the best-selling book Get to the Point (Bantam 1990). Andrew frequently is called upon to help senior executives prepare for media interviews, new business presentations, Board meetings, testimony before Congressional committees and regulatory agencies, expert witnessing in lawsuits, road shows and security analyst presentations. Andrew also develops and directs the CommCore training and consulting services. His copyrighted training innovations include the Two-Minute Talking Memo, Art of the Sound Bite, and Message Mapping for Media Interviews.

Andrew also is an experienced crisis strategist. Specific challenges include providing crisis advice to the University of Virginia Medical Center in the baby-switching incident. Early experience in crisis communications includes preparing Johnson & Johnson Chairman James Burke for an interview on 60 Minutes during the first Tylenol crisis, and preparing senior Martin Marietta executives for congressional hearings following the Challenger accident. Andrew also conducts crisis simulations for clients where he teaches participants how to take control of news events instead of just reacting to the next fact.

His overseas assignments have taken him to Asia, Singapore, Scotland, Norway, Portugal and Kenya.
