David Hansen Email & Phone Number

With robust experience in the media & entertainment industry, I have honed a multifaceted skillset across technical domains including, cloud-based platforms and digital content delivery. Through my career, I have piloted innovative technology implementations and facilities programming, directly impacting operations for high profile/Fortune 500 clients such as NBC, CNN, Fox, and Disney/Lucasfilm.As Executive Director of Media Operations and Facilities for KQED, a PBS/NPR member station, I spearhead facility improvement strategies, revitalizing the organization’s technology infrastructure, and establishing SOPs to support new workflows. Notably, between 2018-2021, I launched, advised, and managed the full lifecycle of a multimillion-dollar renovation of KQED’s 160K sq. ft. facility. Comfortable with exercising autonomous decision making, I designed the building and technology blueprints to compliment and seamlessly coordinate with new system and data centers, launching rollouts without interruption to operations. I continue to drive change by clearly prioritizing and communicating potential project needs, winning executive and Board buy-in to accelerate project decision making, completion, and success. I balance my work as an individual contributor by leading dynamic teams. I excel when serving as a mentor to junior peers and senior associates, providing technical expertise/guidance alongside individual skill advancement. Adept at translating complex technical jargon into actionable plans, I improve efficiency, enabling teams to consistently exceed expectations and drive sustainable, facility-wide technology changes.
