I’m a customer-obsessed creative operations leader with two decades of experience transforming video production and digital media operations. Throughout my career, I’ve specialized in leveraging emerging content creation technologies to scale global teams and deliver exceptional results in ambiguous environments.
My approach combines strategic vision with hands-on execution, allowing me to:
– Build and optimize production teams delivering 98% client satisfaction
– Drive innovation across product, engineering, and commercial teams
– Help develop a programmatic solution for virtual product placement with major media partners
– Transform creative workflows, reducing production inefficiency by 84%
– Leverage AI/ML and computer vision to revolutionize content creation
– Create data-driven KPIs/OKRs that deliver measurable business outcomes
At Mirriad, I lead end-to-end creative operations across major media partners and brand clients, working directly with C-suite leadership to align product roadmaps with innovative production workflows. By introducing agile, scalable team structures, we dramatically improved efficiency while reducing overhead by 40%.
During my time at Amazon, I transformed VFX production by transitioning operations offshore, increasing output by 500% and developing a strategic roadmap that achieved 50x Year-on-Year scale. I partnered with scientists and engineers to define requirements for proprietary ML/AI/CV solutions while ensuring seamless delivery for major brand clients.
At Hearst, I built a scalable agency model while running in-house production facilities across 5 studios with 70 video professionals. By pioneering early adoption of Adobe MOGRT templates, we increased process efficiency by 1500% while maintaining creative consistency—creating videos that garnered over 7 billion impressions in 2019 alone.
A consultant with over a decade of experience leading video teams, nurturing talent and fostering brand growth in video. As Director of Post Production & Operations at Hearst, I provided creative and technical support for all 25 of their brands – from legacy titles such as Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and Cosmopolitan, to digital juggernauts like Delish and Clevver. In my 5 years with the company, I helped the division grow from a team of 6 to over 70.
I am an entrepreneurial and empathetic leader and pride myself on the ability to quickly build efficient, multi-functional teams who excel both technically and creatively. Leveraging the experience of my background in advertising and broadcast, I enjoy nothing more than the blend of creativity and organization that roles at this level demand.
