Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, I can work with you to navigate some of the most vexing challenges in media.
Call me when:
- You’re looking for a new job—or a new way to approach your current one. By breaking down your stated and revealed preferences, I can help narrow a job search or point you in directions you hadn’t previously considered.

It’s a set of actionable tips and ideas built out of my own successes and failures, plus myriad manager training courses from across the media landscape.
- You’ve finally landed the big promotion, big project or big opportunity and suddenly find yourself wondering: Now what? I’ve got a track record of breaking big problems down into smaller ones, helping people determine a plan of action, and identifying the checkpoints to hit for success.
