About

Craft meets operational rigor

I lead business and operations, and I came up through creative production. That combination is the point: I can own P&L, margins and delivery while still being fluent in how the work actually gets made.

I manage cross-market campaign production, coordinate creative agencies and deliver multi-channel assets (POS, print, TVC, OOH, digital), with hands-on expertise in editing, colour, VFX/CGI, motion design and sound.
