Jack Franchetti
Founder + CEO
Jack is the ultimate authority in corporate communications. He is among the Founding Fathers of media training and corporate presentation skills training. His extraordinary background as a television director, talk show host and major league baseball announcer has positioned him as an innovator in executive media relations and presentation skills training since the early 1970s.
Jack began his media career at New York’s WHN Radio, as the Station Manager of WFUV Radio and Director of the St. John’s University Television Department. He helped launch ground breaking media training and speech preparation programs at the J. Walter Thompson Company, and hosted New York’s “Point of View” program on WOR-TV for several years. His coaching techniques have been championed by corporations and major political candidates, both nationally and internationally.
Jack also served as Shea Stadium’s public address announcer for the New York Mets for 11 years, including the 1986 World Championship season.
Jack earned his B.S. from Fordham University followed by a Master’s Degree in Speech from Brooklyn College.
When not engaged in client situations, Jack is typically found boating around the Long Island Sound or losing money on the golf course.
