Creator Operations Lead

London Area, United Kingdom

About

My career is hard to put into a single line, and I've stopped trying. TV, magazines, music, talent, creator communities, I've moved through industries the way some people move through genres, always curious, always adapting. Currently leading team of creator managers, editors and a UGC creator community. When I'm not building things at work, I'm painting, losing myself in music, or finding inspiration somewhere unexpected. Painter. Melomaniac. Perpetually inspired by culture in all its forms.

      I lead an incredible team of Creator Managers and CGC Editors, while building and scaling a global community of 900+ creators. I provide hands-on leadership and strategic direction, supporting day-to-day execution, quality control, negotiations, and contract compliance.
