Performance-driven executive with 20+ years of experience in studio management, strategy production, and acquisitions, with an emphasis on Asia. Expertise include relationship management, revenue growth, and strategic partnership development. Possesses a successful track record of leading diverse teams and exceeding performance targets while promoting a positive culture in work environments. Adept at cultivating growth-oriented relationships with executive stakeholders and driving consistent organizational growth. As a Media Strategist, I am currently advising Huanxi Media on international partnerships, acquisitions and production partners. I have served as an advisor to Netflix on strategic partnerships in China and am developing both films and series with international partners. I am working at the CEO level to build content partnerships, support government relations and create top tier films and series in North Asia. I developed a strategic plan for Sony Pictures that included: re-launching their local language co-production business, which led to a series of films that achieved combined box office of over RMB 1B; building a strong Government Relations program, which lead to the release of more titles for Sony in China and overseeing the expansion of their digital licensing business, growing the business from $5M to $60M in three years forming relationships with Alibaba, Tencent and China Mobile. I also built co-financing relationships for Sony’s U.S. slate with partners such as China Film and Wanda. As a Creative Producer, I built on strong government relationships at Miramax to launch the Miramax titles in China as well as their sales to the China Movie Channel. At the same time I managed projects such as HERO and Shaolin Soccer that are among the highest grossing foreign language films released globally. I oversaw the production of Kill Bill in China which is one of the highest grossing U.S. films shot in China. Additionally, I licensed the Celestial Pictures (Shaw) library and oversaw acquisitions and sales in Japan and Korea. For Sony, I produced Jiang Wen’s Gone with the Bullets and Chen Kaige’s Monk Comes Down the Mountain while identifying remakes for the Chinese Market.
