Hello & welcome
At a high level, my career is best described as an Executive Production Leader specializing in digital and experiential work—someone who builds, leads, and evolves production departments, not just ships individual projects.
Over the past several years, I’ve partnered with agencies and brands across the U.S. and Europe, leading teams and overseeing complex, multidisciplinary work. My experience spans virtual and IRL experiences, broadcast and digital campaigns, podcasts, guerrilla activations, branded products, Digital OOH, interactive video, influencer and research-driven programs, websites, and large-scale marketing stunts.
Notable highlights include serving as a production lead on the Bloomberg 2020 presidential campaign, producing the first TV spots for Mediacom, turning Post Malone into a Pokémon, manufacturing a line of toys overseas for Liquid Death, and creating a fully functional branded hotel for Hulu.
On the agency side, I’ve held senior leadership roles including Head of Experiential + Digital at WKNY and Acting Director of Digital Production & Creative Innovation at GTB (AOR for Ford Motor Company). Over 15+ years, I’ve helped modernize production organizations by establishing new operating models, defining KPIs, building listening and real-time response systems, expanding platform-specific content strategies, and introducing mixed reality and emerging technology into legacy brand ecosystems. I’ve frequently served as the experiential SME, bridging creative ambition with operational reality.
Throughout my career, I’ve consistently acted as a change agent—reframing how production functions, empowering teams, and helping agencies adapt to new creative, technological, and cultural demands. I’ve spoken on panels at SXSW, IAB, ANA, AICP, 4A’s, Adweek, and more.
Currently based in NYC, I work with startups, brands, PR firms, media companies, and traditional agencies across nearly every vertical and medium. I’m equally comfortable leading remotely or embedded with teams on site.
I’d love to be considered for upcoming production leadership needs—whether that’s building systems, guiding teams, or helping your organization evolve how production gets done. Rates and references available upon request.
