Summary
I consider myself a builder of new ideas. I lay down the foundation, by gathering the necessary talent and putting them
together. Singular and group genius will emerge when those involved feel invited to innovate. I pursue solutions in a holistic
manner. Failure is only one step closer to success. I am not afraid of challenges and late hours, I am technical, diplomatic,
organized and will go the extra mile for good storytelling. I love innovation, hard work and helping make a difference.
Keywords relating to my experience include Producer: technical, interactive, creative, events, Experience: R&D, project
