Throughout his career, he has partnered closely with creative leadership to shepherd ideas from concept through execution—balancing ambition with production viability, operational rigor, and strategic intent. He has overseen content spanning film, social, digital, experiential, print, and interactive platforms for some of the world’s most recognized brands, including Meta, Coca-Cola, Samsung, HBO, PlayStation, Anheuser-Busch, Unilever, and Target.
