Former CEO and Creative Director of two-time Academy Award winning Grain Media, having won Netflix’s first ever Oscar in 2016 (THE WHITE HELMETS) and A&E Networks’ first Oscar in 2020 (LEARNING TO SKATEBOARD IN A WARZONE IF YOU’RE A GIRL).
Media’s business by over 800%, overseeing all development and production, delivering standout projects such as the BIFA-winning EVELYN (Netflix), 6-part returnable series I’M WITH THE BAND: NASTY CHERRY (Netflix) that I created with Charli XCX, BBC’s DEATH IN BOLLYWOOD and TIGERS: HUNTING THE TRAFFICKERS, and a five-film series for Nat Geo produced with Leonardo DiCaprio and the Nobel Peace Prize.
Joined VICE Studios in 2020 to lead the Non-Fiction unit; within a year, we were nominated for 2 BAFTAs and 3 Academy Awards for FLEE. Promoted to Global Head of Documentaries across Vice Studios and Pulse Films, I oversaw a string of international hits including Emmy-nominated returnable series ENCOUNTERS (Netflix/Amblin), BAMA RUSH (HBO Max) now launching as a returnable series on Lifetime, returnable series MAX VERSTAPPEN: ANATOMY OF A CHAMPION (Viaplay), THE AMERICAN GLADIATORS’ DOCUMENTARY (ESPN), and Grammy-nominated LEWIS CAPALDI: HOW I'M FEELING NOW (Netflix). I also co-created and exec produced THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO TAMMY FAYE, which premiered at Sundance with Elton John and David Furnish as executive producers, and developed a $5M project with Tiger King’s Rebecca Chaiklin for Amazon.
At Dragonfly (Banijay) I developed and sold a 6-part returnable doc series to Amazon and a 6-part returnable series to Apple, collectively worth over $12M, alongside other high-profile titles. Over 17 years’ experience in pivotal creative roles across both the public and indie sector; spanning documentaries, factual, fact-ent, digital, commercials, branded, children’s, and scripted. Very comfortable representing companies at industry events, panels, and investor meetings.
