About

With nearly two decades of global industry experience, I bring a unique blend of creative vision, strategic leadership, and technical expertise to every project I tackle. My career has taken me across the UK, US, Canada, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, giving me a truly global perspective on innovation and operational excellence. At Netflix, I have played a key role in shaping the post-operating model throughout EMEA, driving strategies that enhance efficiency and creative collaboration. Before this, I built and expanded a thriving post-production company in New York and developed cutting-edge workflows for long-form film and television. These experiences have strengthened my ability to merge technical innovation with creative excellence, ensuring every project reaches its full potential. In every role, developing talent and investing in the industries I work in has been a priority. Whether it is mentoring individuals or implementing strategies that foster growth and inclusivity, I am passionate about building environments where creative and operational excellence can thrive. In my current role as Senior Manager of Post Production Growth and Emerging Markets, I lead strategy and operations across diverse regions, including the Middle East, Africa, Turkey, Benelux, and CEE. I believe in the power of influence-based leadership, fostering strong relationships, and inspiring teams to deliver their best work by leading with vision, clarity, and authenticity. I am always open to connecting and discussing ideas, opportunities, and ways to push the boundaries of what is possible in the creative and technical spaces.
