I’ve driven projects seen by millions, blurred Kate Upton’s boobs on live TV, and snagged a hug from Matt Damon—just a few snapshots from 15 years of tackling insane creative demands. I’ve led teams from 5 to 25, fueling a 25% surge in A+E’s international deals, spearheading Emmy-winning social campaigns, pushing Dartmouth’s $3.6B fundraising campaign to the finish line, and building AI workflows that slash revision cycles by 70%. No bullshit, no excuses—I push until the work’s done right. My competitive streak thrives under pressure, and while I inspire creatives to aim higher, I don’t coddle the status quo. If there’s a weak link, I rebuild until it can stand on its own.
The accolades wouldn’t mean a thing without the low points—like homeless nights when I first moved to NYC, sleeping on subways and in sketchy Airbnbs, and questioning my place in a cutthroat city. New York was my crucible, forcing me to adapt fast: own mistakes, rip out what doesn’t work, and double down on what does. It’s how I learned to lead with guts, stand up for my team, and defend great concepts through tight deadlines, curveballs, and boardroom skeptics. Away from the studio, I’m hiking Vermont’s mountains, braving Iceland’s winter roads, and wandering Morocco’s frenetic souks—always driven by a passion for new perspectives. I believe in forging trust, staying hungry, and refusing to settle for average. That’s my ethos—unflinching, collaborative, and ready for the next wild challenge. Because if you’re aiming for real impact, there’s zero room for half-measures—just the pursuit of better questions and bold execution that stands on its own.
