I pride myself in spotting strong IP, which is both commercially viable and creatively unique. I can take the concept through all stages of its gestation, working with the best creative talent and commercial partners to deliver high-quality, engaging stories on time and on budget.

I started my career working my way up through the production ranks, initially as a third and then second assistant director; I have worked as location manager, first assistant director, post-production supervisor and line producer on numerous series based in the UK and filmed abroad. I was introduced to the global market when I became Director of International Production for LA-based Walt Disney International Television, overseeing 33 branded shows across the globe.

Subsequent roles as Vice President of Creative Development and Group Vice President of European Operations at Sesame Workshop in New York and then London fine-tuned my skills. In the last few years, based in the UK, I have overseen the development, financing, production, and exploitation of over 200 episodes of internationally successful series and, more recently, feature films. My most recent television projects are ‘Who Killed Billie-Jo?’ for Paramount+ and ‘Willem and Frieda’ fronted by Stephen Fry for Channel Four.

Putting the story and script firmly in the centre of every project I get involved with, I was recently Co-Exec on the feature film ‘To Olivia’ with Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey), Keeley Hawes (Bodyguard) and Sam Heughan (Outlander) for Atticus Films and distributed by Goldcrest.

My recent television development includes the drama series 'Mr China' with Lionsgate (written by Jeremy Brock (Last King of Scotland) and a co-venture with David Parfitt’s Trademark Films based on the life story of Gavin Maxwell (The Father, Red Joan, My Week With Marilyn).

Alongside my independent production interests, I run an international consultancy business working with media clients to realise their creative and commercial ambitions. I also have an ongoing consultancy role at Film London, focusing on generating inward investment for London’s animation studios and community. I recently completed a term contract with KidsCave Studios, moving them from a production studio to an IP incubator and development studio.
