Building creative business.

Leveraging two decades in the creative industries across America and Europe, my expertise lies in growing creative businesses through a strategic and operational mindset and vast network of real human relationships across media, tech, art, brands, immersive and more. From launching global creative industry awards to running a media/story/tech incubator in NYC, I know how to connect the dots to help your business thrive.

Equal parts creative and commerce,I can connect you to your next big idea, future clients, partners or speakers efficiently, strategically and with rapid impact.

I ultimately believe the future belongs to community-driven companies, a principle that has been central to my work. Let me be part of yours.



My Offerings

I help creative businesses grow through expertise across all these areas but in our world of creative humans, everything starts with a conversation - reach out below and let’s talk through your needs.

  • One of the most common questions I am asked is “do you know someone who [insert creative role or company here].” Whether a production company, a creative or venue, connecting you to what you need to grow is the central tenet to all I do [e.g. connecting a London based agency to a NYC Director for a shoot in less than 48 hours.]

  • No cold emails or calls here. I connect you to potential partners through thoughtful intros, intimate dinners or curated gatherings. [e.g. connecting an LA production house with a London based animation studio to close a new client over dinner in NYC.]

  • Equal parts strategy and execution, let me audit a business challenge and develop an applicable strategic plan as well as apply my Chief of Staff / EP mindset to execute it. [e.g. Creating and executing the plan to revitalize the Telly Awards leading to significant growth in entries.]

  • The unifying principal of my career has been to genuinely lead with empathy and human alchemy. I am highly adept at growing existing or new communities in service of expanding awareness of your company. [e.g. Supporting the growth of multidisciplinary community brought together to learn and collaborate from different creative industries.]

  • Whether it’s a potential sponsor for a creative festival or strategic partners to grow brand awareness, I am highly adept at bringing partners together that deliver on business and good human goals. [e.g. Bringing Verizon 5G as a partner and speaker for a future of film conference, positioning them at the forefront of immersive technology.]

  • Gatherings, masterclasses, panels, creative retreats, Lunch & Learns or larger innovation expeditions in London, NY, LA or beyond - lean on me to help curate compelling and insightful conversations from across the creative industries. My secret USP is leveraging these to drive awareness of your business. [e.g. Co-designing a week long learning expedition to NY for French cultural startups that covered emerging trends, innovation in media and how to launch a company in the US.]
