About

Most entertainment formats don’t travel. I’ve spent my career either building or working on the ones that do. From Star Academy to The Voice to StemDrop (developed with TikTok) reaching over 24B views, my focus has always been the same: building formats that travel, working closely with John de Mol and Simon Cowell along the way. Now I’m building formats for a social-first world, where creators drive the signal and formats are designed to scale across multi platforms.
