LEADERSHIP

LEADERSHIP

LEADERSHIP

As an accomplished Film & Television Production Executive with over 20 years of experience I've led physical and financial operations for a diverse slate of content. This includes a foundational 18-year tenure at Paramount, where I rose to the title of SVP of Production for MTVE Studios & Paramount & Showtime Media Networks to direct the execution of high-value, premium projects. I possess a proven ability to oversee physical production from concept through delivery for content across multiple linear and non-linear platforms. This includes direct oversight of production teams and slates, providing executive guidance on workflows, company initiatives, and career development, ensuring the organization is equipped for sustained success and scale.

LEADERSHIP

I offer strategic oversight, moving beyond day-to-day management to influence corporate financial health. I possess deep expertise in budgeting, scheduling, staffing, and logistics, ensuring all productions remain on budget and on schedule while strictly adhering to network, studio, and guild guidelines. My strategic contributions include conducting extensive financial and workflow research to identify inefficiencies, creating new business strategies, and streamlining practices to reduce costs at both the corporate and production levels. I've expertly advised on budgetary and contractual terms for production company, producer, director, and talent deals, safeguarding the financial viability of multi-million dollar investments.

LEADERSHIP

IMPACT

My operational command is underscored by my experience managing landmark projects in both scripted and unscripted formats, including involvement with phenomenon-level premium scripted series such as the highly successful Yellowstone. I specialize in developing and implementing scalable production policies, procedures, and workflows for both internal teams and third-party partners. This infrastructure-focused approach includes establishing production onboarding plans and setting up efficient operational systems, demonstrating a commitment to governance, compliance, and standardization. By fostering strategic partnerships with external producers and vendors, I've continually expanded company’s creative and business ventures, translating corporate goals into actionable, highly efficient production realities.
