I’m a senior leader who specializes in editorial and content optimization, video strategy, media production, content partnerships and multi-platform distribution. I have spent my entire career in all parts of the online content pipeline, from producing, writing, and editing to leading and managing large teams of creators, analysts, producers, and writers across multiple territories, specifically in the areas of technology, movies, television, gaming, and music.

Most of my career has been in the Entertainment & Gaming Media space - brands that use reviews and ratings to help audiences determine the best way to use their most valuable asset - their leisure time. Whether it’s choosing what game to play next, which series to binge, or what movie to see at the theater - all of the businesses’ where i have led large international teams, from Metacritic, Fandom, TV Guide, GameSpot, to Ranker, have all placed an emphasis on creating content around discovery and recommendation.

Over the last 5 years, I led the transition of brands such as GameSpot, Metacritic, TV Guide, and others through three separate companies: Paramount, Red Ventures, and Fandom, as the businesses were sold and bought twice. For both rounds of M&A, I led the team that pitched to potential buyers, working with both selling and buying parties to demonstrate and articulate the value of these content driven businesses.
