Kris Cole

Managing Director at Prosek Partners

Speaker

I advise CEOs, founders, boards and senior communications leaders on reputation, positioning and high-stakes communications. I work primarily with complex and highly regulated businesses, helping leadership teams make sound decisions, connect with stakeholders and execute effectively across media, employees, investors, regulators, customers and communities.

My experience spans asset management, private equity, private credit, real estate, legal services, energy and infrastructure. I also advise companies operating at the intersection of AI, data centers, energy and public policy.

I am often called when the path forward is not obvious. My role is to serve as a practical sounding board, pressure-test decisions and help leadership teams communicate with clarity and credibility when the stakes are highest.

Outside of my client work, I lead Community Engagement for Women in Private Credit, where I help build connections among senior investors, asset managers and institutional allocators.
