Summary

Storytelling Expert. Guided numerous influential organizations, including NASA and Fortune 100 companies, on their story strategy to see that everything comes back to telling the right story in the right way at the right time.

Talent-Focused Visionary Leader. As a successful creative agency CEO and seven-time movie producer, learned that the only way to achieve world-class creative work is to build a selfless team of hungry, talented professionals.

Strategic Creative "Unicorn." Creativity on its own without a strategy can be meaningful, funny or beautiful, but it is rarely marketable. In business creativity must merge with strategic focus and discipline. While many creatives are primarily right-brained, I have a rare left brain/right brain balance that inspires creatives toward a common strategic vision.
