Thanks for visiting my site. 

 

My CV may look like the story of a Hollywood TV executive and producer. It is, but it’s more; the skills used as a TV Development executive and producer are a perfect fit for any position that requires:

 

• Innovation

• Management of creative and production departments

• Art, design, and brand oversight

• Macro and strategic thinking 

• Problem-solving 

• Excellent storytelling chops 

• Expert editorial skills for all types of content

• Technical skills like video editing and videography

 

Creating, developing, and overseeing TV shows for networks is like running many demanding micro businesses simultaneously- all with different staffs, personalities, challenges, creative, financial, and logistical problems to solve. I’ve strategized major show launches, worked extensively with marketing, promos, press, finance, and the C suite, and developed and produced the content as a high-level creative. 

I typically managed at least ten shows on air concurrently with dozens in various stages of development (hiring producers, dealing with famous actors, celebrities, musicians, directors, writers, and designers, and deal-making, scripting, casting, and pilot production. 

 

There was also the standard Senior Executive roster of corporate duties, meetings, and strategizing. Budget creation and oversight were always part of the process.

 

For the last five years, I have brought TV development-inspired ideation, creative riffing, and project oversight of all media types to Brand and Marketing creative for leaders like Looker, Google Cloud, and Pendo. I’ve re-imagined formats like Taxicab Confessions, Infomercials, and sporting events to tell the stories of brands and products with zest, quirkiness, and effectiveness.

 

I have an inexhaustible passion for storytelling through video and film, and throughout a series of increasingly senior positions, I have exponentially grown viewers and engagement.

 

I’ve been responsible for getting many hit TV shows on the air- an incredibly challenging endeavor. My mentees run networks, high-profile production companies, and hit TV shows.  Put my experience to good use in your Marketing, Content, Brand, or Creative Department.
