As a visionary leader in AI, my journey of over 25 years in media and entertainment technology has been driven by a passion for storytelling and the role of technology in the creative process.  Starting with my childhood experiences of going to the movies and being immersed in great stories, my fascination with the power of storytelling has only grown, shaping my career, and fueling my dedication to the industry.

Today, I am committed to supporting early-stage tech companies in AI, helping them further develop their product roadmaps, gain visibility, secure funding, and build essential connections. My mission is to continue to build a thriving community, serving as a catalyst for change and a "go-to" resource for all things related to AI in media and entertainment.

With a deep belief in the potential for AI to unlock human creativity and generate new ideas, I advocate for its role as an assistant to the creative process, unleashing the next level of human capability. My approach is rooted in fostering environments where communities can perform at their best, ensuring that automation is leveraged to streamline mundane processes wherever possible.

Throughout my career, I have built strong relationships with decision-makers across the supply chain, leading teams in North America and Europe to achieve remarkable successes. My leadership roles have focused on operational management and product development, with a keen eye on market trends and technological advancements. This has led to significant contributions to revenue growth and market dominance, marked by pioneering projects that set new industry standards.

As the current president of the Hollywood Professional Association, and member of the TV Academy, I am deeply involved in advocating for our industry.

I am a tech nerd with a creative mind, and I believe that great storytelling is at the core of human experience and is certainly the heart of our industry. My goal has always been to empower creators with the best technological tools and insights, enabling them to bring their visions to life. By asking the right questions to encourage change, I aim to motivate others to join the AI journey and help the industry transform and thrive.

As we move forward, I am excited to continue exploring the intersection of technology and creativity, helping our partners create and deliver the world's greatest stories. My career is about giving, supporting, sharing, and advocating for the industry I love, always looking ahead to anticipate the next big shift and position our teams to lead rather than follow.
