Hannah Arnold

Hannah is President, CEO and owner of Resilere Partners (formerly The LAKPR Group). A deeply experienced communications strategist and C-suite advisor, she specializes in partnering with leaders and organizations at critical inflection points to effectively execute transformation agendas, amplify brands, navigate periods of challenge and accelerate their success.

She has developed a particular niche working with companies backed by private equity and other investment firms, working with CEOs and management teams to deploy communications as a strategic lever to support value creation.

Named “among the best in the business when it comes to crisis communications,” Hannah has managed scores of high-profile crisis situations, including bankruptcies and restructurings, regulatory or governmental investigations, complex litigations and other matters that pose threats to business operations. She has also spoken on crisis communications topics at a variety of industry forums, including crisis strategies for in-house and outside legal counsel, and written on the importance of communications in the bankruptcy process for publications including the Bankruptcy Strategist.

Fun fact: she created and authored the historical introduction to The Twinkies Cookbook on behalf of Hostess Brands, for whom she also helped conceive and lead “the sweetest comeback in the history of ever” campaign, following the acquisition of the brands by Apollo Global Management and C. Dean Metropoulos & Co.

Prior to becoming President, CEO and owner of The LAKPR Group, which re-branded to Resilere Partners in 2024, Hannah was a Principal at LAK Public Relations, which she joined in 1999. In 2020, she executed an acquisition of assets to establish a new firm.

She began her communications career serving as Press Secretary to New York State Senator Roy M. Goodman, the Senate Committee on Investigations, Taxation and Government Operations, and the Senate Special Committee on Arts and Cultural Affairs.
