"details": "As an accomplished Executive Producer, Chief Marketing Officer, and Chief Impact Officer with over two decades of experience, I specialize in driving results through innovative marketing, media, and purpose-driven programming.\r\r\r\rAt Participant, my role as Head of Strategic Alliances and Publishing involved spearheading creative partnerships and orchestrating campaigns that aligned with our films’ visions and social objectives. With almost 20 years at the helm, I’ve successfully nurtured vital relationships and brought significant financing partners to the forefront, ensuring our stories reached wide, engaged audiences.\r\r\r\rMy expertise spans communications strategy, digital media, traditional publishing, creative direction, and strategic partnerships—all working in concert to generate over $100 million in support of Participant’s films and campaigns. These accomplishments underscore our team’s commitment to producing content that resonates culturally and socially, and that drives real-world change.\r\r\r\rI aim to connect with forward-thinking companies—from Netflix, Amazon Studios, and Disney to mission-driven brands and agencies—seeking a visionary leader at the intersection of media, marketing, and impact.\r\r\r\rIf you’re looking for a strategic storyteller, partnership architect, and campaign leader who translates purpose into measurable growth, I’d love to connect. I’m open to executive opportunities, collaborations, and consulting engagements across branded content, fundraising strategy, and programming that inspires action and delivers lasting impact.",
