Katja Fašink

Regarded as one of the top crisis communication strategists, Katja Fašink has been honored globally for her work in risk and reputation management, corporate affairs, and critical infrastructure.

Trusted by governments, corporations, and infrastructure leaders alike, Katja operates where public trust is fragile and the stakes are highest. She brings a rare ability to unify cybersecurity, crisis response, and public dialogue—turning volatility into clarity and disruption into resilience.

As CEO of Key7 Communications & Cyber Security (Key7), Gmedia & Production (G Production), and the forthcoming Gcouncil, Katja leads a global team of more than 30 experts working at the intersection of digital defense, corporate strategy, and crisis communication. Her work doesn't just manage reputational risk—it reshapes how institutions prepare, respond, and rebuild.

Before founding Key7, she served as Chief Communications Officer for Slovenia's national transmission system operator. Advanced credentials in AI, corporate affairs, and counterterrorism from the University of Oxford further support her insights. She is currently completing her PhD focused on influencing nuclear crisis communication. As a Member Leader of the Crisis Communication group in the Forbes Communication Council, she encourages responsible and results-oriented dialogue among authorized individuals and institutions. With Gcouncil, she is establishing a global media hub where opinion makers, experts, innovators, and policymakers share their opinions to build a brighter future and rethink today.

Looking ahead, Katja envisions a world where communication is not a last line of defense—but a frontline discipline integrated into the everyday processes of cybersecurity, infrastructure protection, communication, and adaptation, as well as global trust-building.
