Production
Leader

Production leader with proven Head of Production experience delivering high-impact campaigns across broadcast, digital, and social. I build teams, manage vendor ecosystems, and lead production from concept through delivery.

At ITV Creative, I served as Interim Head of Production managing a 40+ person team, overseeing production budgets exceeding £1.5M, and leading department operations and vendor relationships. The Euros campaign alone delivered 18.4M viewers and drove a 10% increase in ITV advertising revenue.

Track record of commercial success including pitching and winning new work, transforming digital campaigns into full TV brand initiatives, and building production department infrastructure from the ground up.
