I have been offering consulting services to the Entertainment Industry, providing IT solutions for business problems. I am excited to explore challenging opportunities in a functional/management role that can leverage my 30 years’ worth of overall IT experience (25+ years in Entertainment) in designing and building large-scale mission critical applications and delivering projects on time and on budget.During the course of my career, I have transitioned from a purely technical role (Technical Architect/Lead) into a functional role (Product Manager/Functional Lead), which provides me with a unique perspective on how to successfully navigate a project from user requirements into design, development and implementation. This breadth and depth of experience has enabled me to better comprehend and identify the underlying needs of the business – with a focus on designing the best solutions tailored for maximum ROI against the constantly evolving entertainment industry landscape.My experience with managing development teams in a technical capacity, coupled with wide ranging functional knowledge across multiple business domains, enables me to bring a “hands-on” detail oriented approach to every engagement. My comfort at interacting with business users on a functional level, as well as with developers on a technical level has led me to consulting opportunities that required communicating with internal resources and offshore resources, as well as external vendors. The consulting background has allowed me to adapt to a variety of environments, challenges and methodologies, showcasing my ability to calibrate effective collaboration between the business environment and IT teams. My value addition is exemplified by the ability to grasp, deconstruct and break down complex business challenges into smaller well defined areas that exhibit real ROI and then spearhead MVP solutions accordingly.Expertise spans the following Entertainment industry domains across various Entertainment Studios, on a variety of consulting engagements– > Digital Supply Chain, Digital Asset Management, Digital Delivery (Digital Distribution)> Mastering, Localization workflows and Digital Asset Inventory Management (Servicing & Fulfillment)> Intellectual Property Management (Products & Rights)> Deals and Contracts Management (Sales & Licensing)>Television Distribution and Home Entertainment Release Scheduling (Avails & Distribution)> Distribution Accounting and Entertainment Finance (Accounts Payable/Receivable & GL)> Production Planning, Timeline management and Scheduling (TV Production)
