Summary
To find partnership opportunities to share over two decades of insight and experience in the business of Production and Brand relationships. Having held Staff positions at multiple A List Production companies provides me a unique lens to see this business through and with which to come prepared to help solve the micro and macro problems at this challenging time. I am equally interested in exploring how to refresh a company experiencing stagnation as I am working with startup companies.
