High Level Integrated Production Manager + Strategist / Operations
Advertising, Marketing, Branded Content, Film and TV Content
“Branded Content Reel”
I’m a highly skilled Production Manager + Strategist & Operations for hire.
Short-term, high-stakes, or full campaign execution—I lead from the trenches and the table.
I’ve never been great at small talk. I prefer stories—the kind that unfold at 3AM on set when the crew’s fried, the clock’s running out, and somehow the client’s still smiling. I’ve built a career turning chaos into clarity, storyboards into strategy, and crews into calm, capable machines.
But I don’t just manage productions—I build them right. From shoot days to strategy decks, from reconciling budgets to shaping full campaigns. I’m just as comfortable locking a location as I am weighing in on media spend and brand objectives. Creative meets operational—that’s where I live.
With 24+ years in the game, I’ve led branded content, docu-series, commercials, and streaming launches. I’ve scaled a production company to $2.2M by year three and delivered for Fortune 500 brands and indie teams alike. My strength lies in execution backed by strategy—fueled by hands-on experience and an MBA in Project Management and Marketing.
What Every Production Deserves:
Effectiveness – Strategy tailored to each project’s complexity
Efficiency – Smart workflows, fewer do-overs
On Time – Deadlines met without sacrificing quality
Contractual Knowledge – IATSE, SAG, COIs, locations, insurance (including weather + E&O)
On Budget – No overages. No surprises. Accurate reconciles
ROI – Every dollar moves the needle
Client Success – When they win, we all do
That’s what agencies, production houses, and brands chase—and it’s what I deliver.
Whether you need someone to lead from day one or fix what’s already slipping—I’m the one you call when failure isn’t an option.
