How do you manage reputation for a professional who was terminated from a high-profile role?

High-profile terminations are reputational moments where the public framing in the first weeks often sets the canonical picture for years. The work runs in three tracks under coordination with the executive’s counsel and any PR firm involved. Authoritative content covering the executive’s full career sustained over the rebalancing period, so the termination does not become the only thing the engines associate with the name. AI narrative monitoring through AIQ™ daily during the press cycle and weekly thereafter, with attention to source attribution because the engines often persist on initial reporting longer than the SERP does. Infrastructure for what comes next: refreshed entity signals tied to the executive’s next role as soon as it is appropriate to position them publicly. The work runs for six to twelve months in most cases and produces a rebalanced canonical picture by the end of that window for most situations.
