I have nearly 20 years of experience in media, technology, and entertainment, with a track record of scaling direct-to-consumer (D2C) businesses around the world through creative partnerships, data-driven decision-making, and cross-functional collaboration. I am passionate about building businesses and teams with extensive experience in go-to-market strategy, contract negotiations, strategic partnerships, business operations, executive leadership, and board advisory.As the Executive Vice President of International at Starz, I lead the international subscription video-on-demand business, with full P&L ownership and responsibility for programming, distribution, marketing, business development, and PR. Reporting directly to the CEO, I work closely with the executive leadership team to drive the company's vision, strategy, and growth. Previously at STARZ, I spearheaded all commercial aspects of STARZ's international expansion to over 60 countries in less than 4 years and was responsible for subscriber and revenue growth. In 2010, I joined Netflix and played a pivotal role in its evolution from a domestic DVD business into a global streaming juggernaut. In addition to leading content planning, acquisition, and launch efforts across Europe, I managed our strategic partnerships with Hollywood studios, innovated on the licensing model, and aligned business operations across the company.Currently, I also serve as a member of the Board of Directors and Content Committee for STARZPLAY, a privately held streaming service in the Middle East and North Africa, where I guide strategic decisions and long-term investments. In addition, I am a lecturer at UCLA Anderson School of Management, where I teach a graduate-level course on analytics in the media and entertainment industry, leveraging my MBA from UCLA and my extensive experience in generating actionable insights. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, surfing, mountain biking, traveling, and spending time with my family and our two dogs.
