Named a recipient of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce’s Pinnacle Award and to the Harvard Club of Boston’s “Most Influential Women” list, Geri Denterlein founded the firm that bears her name in 2000. In the years since, Denterlein has grown to become a 25-person, full-service strategic communications and public relations consulting firm that helps businesses, non-profits, and institutions promote and protect their reputations.

Leveraging a 30-year career in public affairs and journalism, Geri serves as a close, trusted advisor to CEOs and boards of many of the region’s most respected companies and organizations, guiding them through major newsmaking initiatives, leadership transitions, and situations of actual or potential crisis. She has successfully sought to build, in her words, “an agency that is strong in all the areas where New England is strong,” including longstanding Denterlein engagements with clients in healthcare, education, professional services, real estate, sustainability, and public affairs. Geri is a devoted mentor and coach to staff at all levels of the agency.

Prior to becoming a strategic communications and PR consultant, Geri was editorial director at WBZ Television (Boston’s Channel 4), where she presented on-air commentary on major issues of the day and led the station’s government outreach. Geri’s government experience included serving as an associate press secretary to then-Governor Michael S. Dukakis and as communications director for the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health.

In board rooms, the political arena, and the local community, Geri is well known as a champion for women. As an active volunteer leader for several of Boston’s nonprofit organizations, including MassINC, the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, A Better City, and the American Red Cross, Geri advocates for civic and philanthropic engagement and civil discourse. Geri was appointed to the Bridgewater State University Board of Trustees by Governor Charlie Baker and to the board of the Boston Main Streets Foundation by Mayor Martin J. Walsh.

Among many other awards and honors, Geri received the Abigail Adams Award from the Massachusetts Women’s Political Caucus for her outstanding leadership in achieving parity for women. She was inducted into the Academy of Women Achievers by YW Boston, received the Hall of Fame Award from Boston Women’s Business, and won the Workplace Innovations Award from Bentley University.

Geri earned her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Cincinnati and a Master of Public Administration from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. She also holds a certificate in leadership from the Executive Education Program at the Harvard Kennedy School and serves on the faculty of Harvard’s Executive and Continuing Professional Education Program.
