About ArcSense

Twenty years inside global companies. Now building campaigns that move yours.

I'm Khaner Walker, founder of ArcSense. I've led communications for a Fortune Global 500 technology company, a global clinical research organization, run earnings comms for 54 consecutive quarters, and overseen 18 mergers and acquisitions. Now I do that work for businesses that need to be found, believed, and chosen.

I've sat in your chair.

For most of my career I was the person inside the company who had to make a big announcement land: the CEO's script, the 8-K, the rebrand, the all-hands before the news broke.

That work teaches you what agencies often miss. Approvals take time. Legal and HR have a say. Employees read between the lines, and the people you most need to reach are rarely on the channel you picked.

I started ArcSense to bring that discipline to the businesses that can't afford a global comms department. We tell one clear story, put it where each audience will find it, and make sure AI search can find it too.

Experience that shows up in your campaign

Milestones I've led

Mergers and acquisitions
Communications for 18 deals, including work alongside the CFIUS review process to limit attrition and speed up integration. The CEO recognized it with an individual excellence award.
Crisis response
Lead communicator for the first wave of U.S. tariffs in 2018. Coordinated one of the earliest corporate responses to COVID-19, starting with a 10,000-person office in Wuhan, then built the playbook for the rest of the world. The CEO recognized the response.
System rollouts
Chaired the communications workstream for two ERP implementations at different global companies: the timeline, scope, change management, reviews, and approvals across a matrixed group of teams.
Earnings and executive voice
Led communications for 56 consecutive quarters at NASDAQ and Hong Kong–listed companies, drafting CEO messages, 8-Ks, 10-Qs, and presentations.
Rebrands
Communications for several company-wide rebrands, working with global agencies on the creative while keeping every employee and market in step.
Global events
Team lead for the global sales kickoff for 10 years: four events on four continents in two weeks, with a team of 100+ and all CEO and CMO scripts and multimedia.

How I work

Rooted in Raleigh. Working with companies everywhere.

  • Strategy first. Every campaign starts with who needs to believe what, and what has to be true for them to act.
  • AI tools, integrated by people. We use AI to move faster on drafts, monitoring, and measurement. Judgment, approvals, and relationships stay human.
  • Measured, not assumed. We track inquiries, search visibility, and belief, and report what moved and what didn't.
  • One senior point of contact. You work directly with me.
