My experience as Head of Production (including Creative Services & Marketing Ops) on both Agency and Brand sides has given me a keen understanding of the balance between creative ambition and business needs. Originally from the UK, I have worked at leading companies across Amsterdam, New York, and Los Angeles.
As a leader and colleague, I support transformative growth in alignment with the company vision, and consciously steer for change management through production and people. When in production, I am recognized for calibre in the creative output whilst maintaining all stakeholders’ interests with logic and empathy.
I have experience leading in-house teams for Kate Spade New York (global marketing out of the NY HQ which included the creative studio, project management and production) and dosist (a cannabis tech brand that navigated uncharted business and financial waters across the US) but have also kept close to hands on production with work for award-winning creative agencies and global brands.
I adore precision, yet thrive in the invariably messy hub of production, and I enjoy building systems that support the intangible impact that creative operations can have. There is an invisible tension between time, creativity, and process - a juxtaposition I find rewarding to manage - and strategizing systems (and building teams) that make for long-term impact has kept my career both rewarding and renewed.
