I solve the problems that emerge when creative companies scale, merge, or modernize.
Over 20 years, I've worked at the intersection of creative production, technology, and organizational change—from museums to Pixar to global gaming companies. My superpower is translating between worlds: I speak both creative and technical languages fluently, which means I can design systems that actually serve the people who use them.
What makes my approach different is that I've done the work, not just advised on it. I've personally led migrations, built integrations, trained thousands of users, and sat in rooms with skeptical stakeholders who've seen too many failed implementations. I know what works because I've tested it in production environments with real teams facing real deadlines.
My background is unusual: I started in museum collections management, which taught me rigorous archival thinking and metadata discipline. I moved into entertainment at Pixar, Disney, and Warner Bros, then spent over a decade at Activision working on some of the industry's biggest franchises. Most recently, I led a $2M transformation program at Aristocrat integrating 30+ studios following multiple acquisitions.
I'm particularly drawn to the messy middle of organizational change—the space where strategy meets reality, where you need to align creative teams, IT, security, legal, and finance around shared goals. That's where most implementations fail, and it's where I thrive.
What I'm doing now: Taking on strategic consulting engagements (typically 3-12 months) where companies need someone who can see the big picture, design the solution, and execute the transformation. I'm especially interested in post-M&A integration challenges and workflow modernization for creative teams.
