Larry Kamer

Larry Kamer is the founder and president of The Kamer Group, Inc., where he has spent more than four decades advising organizations through some of their most complex and high-stakes communication challenges. His work centers on crisis leadership, reputation management, and the long-term recovery that follows a disruptive or damaging event—when scrutiny persists and credibility must be rebuilt through sustained action, not slogans.

Larry’s expertise lies in helping leaders understand that crises do not end when the immediate incident passes. He works with organizations to diagnose reputational damage, clarify stakeholder expectations, and align leadership around disciplined communication and operational follow-through. His approach emphasizes that reputation recovery is not a messaging exercise, but a long-arc leadership and management discipline requiring consistency, accountability, and trust over time.

Throughout his career, Larry has advised global corporations, public institutions, and nonprofit organizations on crisis preparedness, response, and post-crisis recovery. He is known for bringing clarity to moments when leaders are under intense pressure to act quickly, helping them avoid short-term decisions that create long-term reputational consequences. His counsel focuses on maintaining credibility when facts are incomplete, expectations are shifting, and public attention remains high.

In addition to his advisory work, Larry has had an extensive academic career, teaching and lecturing on crisis communication, leadership, and strategic communication at the university level. His teaching experience informs his ability to translate complex communication challenges into structured frameworks that leaders and communication teams can apply in real-world situations. He is particularly respected for his ability to connect theory to practice—bridging leadership behavior, organizational decision-making, and stakeholder trust.

Larry is a frequent speaker at professional conferences and leadership forums, where he is valued for his practical, candid perspective and his emphasis on disciplined execution over reactive messaging. He is widely regarded as a trusted voice on how organizations recover credibility after a crisis, sustain momentum when scrutiny continues, and ensure that communication aligns with meaningful action.
