At Tripod Media, I lead production operations, integrating strategic planning and hands-on management to oversee company-wide schedules, budgets, and personnel. My role includes optimizing in-house resources, from post-production equipment to office space, and ensuring the approval and review of all project expenses. I spearhead the development of company protocols, contribute to the hiring of new crew members, and oversee the transition of projects from conception to greenlight. Additionally, I collaborate across departments to support project needs and maintain high production standards, ensuring every project is delivered with excellence.
