About Robert Viccellio

I have more than 30 years of communications experience, including print and online publications, marketing, social media, public relations and crisis communications, video, podcasts and websites.

In my former role as vice president of communications for the University of Virginia Alumni Association, I’ve handled complex and high-stakes communications challenges for an audience of more than 200,000 alumni.

I enjoy listening, collaborating and simplifying complexity to tell clear, compelling stories that people will enjoy and remember.
