Throughout her career, Lily Clayton Hansen has written hundreds of biographies for global corporations. Having started biographical writing for the arts and entertainment industry, Lily found her skills transitioned naturally to the corporate world. Over the years, she has landed major writing projects with organizations such as HCA Healthcare, (for whom she wrote and published a 50th anniversary book), architecture and engineering firm Gresham Smith, and investment-management firm AllianceBernstein. She is oftentimes hired to write about hundreds of people, many of whom hold a similar position, and find that secret sauce that makes each person unique. Lily uses her gift for active listening, question-asking and insatiable curiosity to pull the best possible information out of her subjects and wrap it into a creative, cohesive and succinct biography. Her work has been said to humanize large organizations and corporations by highlighting what makes them tick: the amazing people who uphold the culture and value systems everyday.
Lily has worked with the following organizations:
“50 Voices of HCA Healthcare creates unity amongst different departments, teams, and people at our 250,000-person organization.” – Dr. Jon Perlin, President of Clinical Services and Chief Medical Officer at HCA Healthcare
“Our goal at Gresham Smith was to humanize our people and learn more about their personalities and you were a part of that process.” – Chantrell Williams, Marketing Executive at Gresham Smith
“A huge thank you to Lily who worked so seamlessly with the advisors throughout this process and brought their words to life.” – Alexandria Faith, Project Manager
