The Perspective
I live at the intersection of creative and operational. Not one or the other. The place where both have to work simultaneously for anything to actually happen. That's where I've always been most effective, and where I'm building toward at an executive level.
My background spans production, entertainment marketing, integrated brand strategy, and creative operations. I'm production-fluent in rooms that are usually marketing-only. I understand the creative constraints, the stakeholder dynamics, the logistical complexity, and I bring all of it to bear on every collaboration I touch.
What drives me is seeing a vision fully realized. Not just the idea, and not just the execution. The complete arc from concept to delivery, with the story intact and the audience in mind throughout. That's what I build toward. That's what I'm for.
"The best partnerships and experiences feel naturally embedded within the worlds they exist inside."
Core Philosophy · Story First. Always.
How I Work
01
Every decision runs through the story. Whether it's a brand integration, a cultural moment, or an operational call. If it doesn't serve the narrative, it doesn't belong. That's not a constraint. It's what makes everything else work.
02
I bring ideas to the table and work the process to get them there. End to end. Most people do one. I do both simultaneously, which is why creative and production teams both want me in the room.
03
I don't wait for the brief. I see the opportunity, build the case, and move it forward. The KIND reactivation wasn't assigned to anyone. On Waymo, I stepped into a live partnership mid-stream and drove it across the finish line. Knowing how to originate regardless of where something starts. That's the instinct.
04
Above the line. Below the line. Brand side. Studio side. I speak every language in the room and hold it all together. People come to me with the hard questions because they trust me to deliver. And because I do.
Selected Work
Brand Integration · HBO · Autonomous Tech
When Waymo's integration came to the table, it required more than logistics. It required holding two competing priorities simultaneously. A beloved HBO property with its own creative integrity. A high-profile autonomous vehicle brand with specific ethos and visibility goals. I stepped in mid-stream and drove the partnership across the finish line, navigating production, transportation, picture car coordination, and brand stakeholder alignment simultaneously. The result was a placement that belonged and a partnership that delivered.
Creative Origination · CPG · Narrative Integration
The producer walked me through the first episode: a child lost in the woods, rangers searching. I heard the story and saw the opportunity. KIND bar wrappers as the trail of Easter eggs that led the rangers to the boy. Not a placement. A narrative device. Creative loved it and ran with it. Then came my job: getting KIND fully on board, protecting the brand's messaging integrity, and making sure every shipping timeline, clearance, and logistics detail was airtight. I originated the concept. The execution was seamless. The story was better for it.
Multi-Platform Portfolio · Streaming
Across every major streaming platform, I've built and managed an active roster of 30+ consumer, CPG, wellness, and lifestyle brand partnerships. Each one required alignment across creative teams, production schedules, brand stakeholders, legal, and logistics simultaneously. From Peloton to Abercrombie & Fitch, Olipop to Vita Coco and NoBull. The work is about ensuring every integration earns its place inside the story, serves the brand's strategic goals, and moves through production with clarity and momentum.
Development · Finance · Studio Relations
Working across the full development pipeline: evaluating screenplays against major studio standards, shaping creative packaging strategy, and converting finance models across multiple productions. Overseeing pitch strategy and presentations for talent, financiers, and distributors. Facilitating direct meetings with Wayfarer and Village Roadshow to explore distribution pathways. Development is where story, business, and relationships all have to move together. That's exactly where I operate best.
