Delivering a strategic approach to Production
With over 25 years of experience within Broadcasters, Creative Agencies and Production Companies I help clients look at Production through a strategic lens. I’m able to unpick knotty operational problems enabling folk to produce best in class creative work, build financially sustainable companies and have fun along the way.
I’ve co-founded award-winning, highly creative, and profitable businesses including Channel 4’s 4creative and have also been lucky enough to work with some of the the most inspiring and creative humans in the industry.
Now I love to work with creatively minded people who have practical problems to solve.
