Under the large domestic and international umbrella of ITV, I oversaw the development of new concepts for cable, streaming, and broadcast distributors. Additionally, I developed spinoff programs leveraging legacy Leftfield IP such as Pawn Stars, Alone, Counting Cars, and Forged In Fire. I also ran day-to-day development post production schedules and interfaced directly with a robust team of sizzle editors. Further tasks included identifying new talent primed for rich, meaningful storytelling. As director, I also crafted fresh formats in every genre with an emphasis on international licensing potential.
Summary
Unscripted television developer with over a decade of hands-on experience passed down from best-in-industry leaders. Whether fresh talent discovery or dynamic format crafting - my energy for creative development is an unending well.
