Let’s Make Magic, Jimmy.

Because when you see a brand that gets creative people the way Canva does—and executes at the level you just did—you don't wait for a job posting. You raise your hand.

I’ve spent 20+ years creating brand experiences that don’t just fill rooms—they shape conversations. I transformed the Clio Awards and launched Clio Health. That work caught the attention of Cannes Lions, and I helped launch Lions Health, now the world’s largest healthcare advertising awards program.

At Magnite (formerly Rubicon Project), I led our Cannes presence year after year—taking us from scrappy side events to full-scale brand showcases. I’ve produced executive summits, immersive activations, multi-continent roadshows, and cultural partnerships that delivered both global reach and local soul.

Visibility is great. But I focus on memorability. What do people feel in the moment—and what do they remember long after the stage is torn down?

The question isn't whether I can handle the scale—it's whether you're ready for what we could build together.

I don't just execute—I architect experiences that move business. I'm the producer who can brief creative teams, manage P&Ls, and still notice when the signage is crooked. But here's what really sets me apart: I've turned events into stock spikes, award shows into cultural moments, and brand activations into revenue drivers.

Also? I don’t wait for job postings. I built this page for a reason.

By designing for both from the start—and never treating one as the cost of the other.

When the pandemic made in-person gatherings impossible, we reimagined the Shorty Awards as a fully digital experience. Instead of just streaming a show, we turned to the very platforms the awards celebrate—social media—to deliver the honors in real time. It was lean, fast, and dead-on brand. We cut production costs by 80%, doubled our global reach, and proved that constraints can sharpen creativity.

Whether I’m producing a global summit, a private salon, or a Cannes activation, I bring both strategy and stamina. I can hold the big creative vision while keeping timelines, budgets, and backstage chaos under control.

Because it’s not “creative vs. operations.” It’s just great experience design.

I build systems that scale the soul, not just the logistics.

At Magnite, I helped develop a global field events strategy where every activation—from CES to Cannes to a rooftop in London—felt like part of one evolving story. I created templates, toolkits, and playbooks that gave teams creative freedom and strategic cohesion.

Whether it’s a keynote, a fireside, or a full-blown festival, I align every moment with brand values—through visual design, tone of voice, programming choices, partnerships, and the small surprise-and-delight details people remember.

It’s not about rigid consistency. It’s about brand rhythm—so each touchpoint feels distinct, but unmistakably “us.”

The ones that change how people think about what's possible.

I've done everything from intimate CEO dinners to festival takeovers, but the format never matters as much as the feeling. What matters is intention: Why are we here? What should they remember? How do we make this unmistakably 'us'?

I'm obsessed with moments that move needles. At Magnite, our Automation Summit was so effective at repositioning our narrative that analysts raised their price target—stock jumped 50%. At Billboard, I took event sponsorship from $3M to $11M annually by aligning editorial with experiential. At InMobi, our AI campaign drove 150% increase in qualified leads.

From brand heat to pipeline growth, I build experiences that deliver business impact you can measure.

I make creative teams feel fearless within a bulletproof strategic frame.

I’ve briefed designers, partnered with writers, jammed with editors, and built full campaigns alongside internal and agency teams. My superpower is translating between worlds: strategy and design, ops and narrative, vision and constraints.

I’ll bring a solid brief, protect the runway, fight for the “big idea,” and stay calm when we’re three days from load-in and someone just changed the stage size.

Good creative needs room to breathe. I protect that space—without missing showtime.

Creative energy, operational calm, zero ego.

I thrive in teams that love what they do—and care how they do it. I believe in trust, humor, accountability, and clear communication. I’ve led cross-functional teams across time zones and personality types, and I’m the one who shows up early, leads from the middle, and helps make the work better.

I show up early, lead from the middle, and remember the gaff tape. Because culture lives in the details.

With the calm confidence that comes from knowing the work will land.

At Magnite (then Rubicon Project), I created the Automation Summit—a high-impact, executive-facing event that was so effective in repositioning the company’s narrative, analysts raised their price target for RUBI. The result? A 50% spike in stock price. That’s the kind of business outcome I aim for when crafting executive experiences.

I’ve prepped CEOs for keynotes, coached panelists, and built full speaker journeys from green room to stage to press line. I know how to make leaders look sharp, sound on-message, and feel confident—whether they’re debuting a product, speaking to investors, or headlining a tentpole.

From talking points to lighting cues, I sweat the details—because high-stakes doesn’t mean high-stress when the prep is right.

I often AM the thread that holds cross-functional work together.

I’ve led programs that span marketing, brand, sales, product, editorial, and partnerships. I speak fluent strategy, design, logistics, and sponsor management—and I know how to bring those voices into one cohesive experience.

At Billboard, I aligned editorial calendars with event programming to help sponsors land their messages inside culture moments. At Magnite, I worked across product and revenue to design activations that spoke to both partners and prospects. I’m the one who keeps the vision steady while making room for great collaboration.

Cannes. A boat. A bleeding nose. Two cases of Dom.

We were days away from opening Magnite’s largest activation to date—118 meetings, VIP parties, and a CEO dinner—all scheduled aboard our chartered yacht, The Lady in Blue. Then… chaos.

First, the boat gets stuck in Italy due to a four-year-old insurance dispute. Then the payment gets rejected because it came from a Lebanese bank. Then a judge has to reverse an injunction—but he’s gone until Monday. Meanwhile, backup yachts are too wide, too expensive, or too unavailable. Oh, and my flight to France? Strikes. My nose? Gushing blood mid-flight. Our housing? Also canceled.

And still: we had no boat.

Fast forward 48 hours, several backup offers, one legal workaround, and—yes—two cases of Dom Pérignon delivered to the harbor master, and I get a text:
“We have a boat.”

That moment—seeing KIJO docked in front of the Palais—was a full-body exhale. Because it wasn’t just a win. It was a masterclass in problem-solving, persistence, and just enough French bribery to get the job done.
