Stafford Wood, APR

Her friendly face and casual demeanor about all things business are merely a decoy - there is no one else you want on your side for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity or defending you in a crisis. Stafford Wood is a deadly combination of strategic brains, mystical intuition, humor, and corporate marketing intelligence.

As founder of Covalent Logic, a corporate communications firm in Baton Rouge, Stafford leads a team of 30 communications professionals to serve global and local clients like Shell Chemical, Hilton Worldwide, and the Office of the Governor with internal communications, graphic design, web development, and public relations. She has a versatile skill set and background, including being an Accredited Public Relations professional, former webmaster for the Governor, Cyber-cop at AOL, and (obviously totally related) expert in pre-Renaissance Eastern European History.

As a Senior Practitioner in the Southern Public Relations Federation, she's received lifetime achievement awards from both the American Advertising Federation and the Public Relations Association of Louisiana.
