Leadership Across Media, Technology, & Operations
Technology & Business Transformation
Over more than 20 years at Disney/ABC, NBCUniversal, and HBO, I have led organizations through complex technology and operational change in environments where reliability is essential and execution matters.
My experience spans business and technology strategy, product and platform development, media operations, emerging technology, organizational leadership, and relationships with customers and industry partners. I bring these perspectives together to help organizations identify the right problem, make informed decisions, and deliver results they can sustain.
I lead complex modernization programs in environments where the business must continue operating throughout the transition.
My experience includes large-scale relocations, infrastructure modernization, cloud adoption, workflow redesign, operating-model change, and enterprise technology transformation. I work across business, technology, finance, operations, and vendor organizations to establish a clear direction, manage risk, and turn a strategic ambition into an executable plan.
The objective is not change for its own sake. It is to create an organization, platform, or operating model that is more capable, resilient, and prepared for what comes next.
Media Operations, Reliability & Resilience
I build and strengthen service-oriented operations for high-stakes, 24×7 media environments.
My focus includes operational readiness, service performance, incident and issue management, disaster recovery, business continuity, and the processes and relationships needed to keep critical services running.
Reliable operations depend on more than technology. They require clear ownership, effective communication, informed decision-making, and teams that remain accountable through resolution. I help organizations put those foundations in place while continuing to improve performance over time.
Product & Platform Strategy
I translate business requirements, operational realities, and customer needs into practical product and platform strategies.
My experience includes cloud and SaaS platforms, streaming services, content distribution, virtualized master control, enterprise media systems, and build-buy-partner decisions. I help organizations determine what to develop, where to partner, how to prioritize investment, and how to design solutions that people can successfully adopt and operate.
I bring the perspective of an executive, operator, technology buyer, and industry partner—allowing me to assess both the strategic promise of a platform and what it will take to make it work in practice.
AI, Automation & Emerging Technology
I help organizations evaluate where AI, automation, and emerging technologies can create meaningful business or operational value.
My experience includes AI-enabled newsroom capabilities, automated workflows, cloud-based production and distribution, ATSC 3.0, content protection, and other evolving media technologies.
I approach emerging technology with both curiosity and discipline: begin with the problem, understand the operating environment, examine the risks and dependencies, and then determine whether the technology can produce a useful and sustainable result.
Customer, Vendor & Go-to-Market Strategy
I help technology providers and media organizations better understand one another.
Having worked as an operator, executive, technology buyer, and industry partner, I understand how media companies evaluate technology—and why technically capable products can still struggle to gain adoption.
I contribute to customer discovery, product positioning, solution design, vendor strategy, partnership development, and go-to-market planning. My role is often to connect customer needs with product decisions, clarify what matters most, and help both sides build a more effective path forward.
Executive Leadership & Organizational Development
I build, reshape, and lead multidisciplinary technology and operations organizations.
My approach centers on clear priorities, defined accountability, sound decision-making, and a shared understanding of what success requires. I have worked across executive, engineering, operational, financial, customer, and vendor teams to create alignment around difficult decisions and complex programs.
I also focus on developing leaders and building teams that communicate openly, exercise good judgment, and take ownership of results. Sustainable transformation depends on people who understand both the objective and their role in achieving it.
How I Approach Complex Problems
I begin by understanding what the organization is trying to accomplish, why the current environment is not getting it there, and which constraints genuinely matter.
From there, I work with the people closest to the problem to evaluate the options, establish priorities, clarify the tradeoffs, and build an approach that can succeed operationally as well as strategically.
The objective is not simply to introduce new technology or produce a plan. It is to solve the right problem and deliver a result the organization can operate, support, and sustain.
Let’s Talk
I welcome conversations with media companies, technology providers, industry partners, and leaders working through complex transformation, product, technology, and operational challenges.
If you would like to connect at IBC, discuss an executive or advisory opportunity, or exchange perspectives on where media technology is heading, I would be glad to hear from you.
