Working for Perform Group on a project in Milan, I project managed the successful on-time launch of Serie A and Serie B soccer matches to the DAZN Platform. I was the primary contact and co-ordination point for clients, creative department, marketing and production teams. I ensured the product was correctly delivered by the broadcast, production, and post-production teams, and oversaw the booking of extra facilities in studio, graphics and editing to support the launch.

Working as a project manager for Perform Group on a project in Tokyo I set up the company’s Broadcast operations Department to launch the DAZN Japan platform. I set up facilities to allow the live transmission of 28 soccer matches each week. I worked with creative and post-production teams to successfully deliver five, 30-minute programs each week. I scheduled and managed a workflow to manage the end to end delivery of the video content , ran daily stand-up meetings to share information, and provided weekly written reports of Work In Progress (WIP). I managed Statements-of-Work (SOW), and ensured service providers adhered to published standards (KPI).

I project-managed the design and implementation of a web portal to allow the ABC to deliver broadcast content to external publishers. I acted as the single point of contact, taking briefs from the clients, and liaising with production and technical staff on the most efficient way to deliver a high quality solution. I ensured that the ABC workflow aligned to meet the business needs of the clients.

This was a project with a very short deadline, which the ABC was facing several challenges to meet. The requirement was to produce daily news, business, and sport programs and deliver them to Virgin Australia at their service centres in Melbourne, Sydney and Los Angeles. I obtained technical and editorial briefs from the client, and guided the ABC to create a dedicated team which was able to deliver the product to the client on time. I provided co-ordination between the client needs, and the deliverables required from IT, Production and Engineering.

This was a 6 month project in London where I moved the broadcast and production facilities for Arabic and English Channels into new premises in the London Shard. I wrote the launch plan and ensured BAU activities, co-ordinating activity across Editorial, Operational, Engineering, IT, and HR for both language services. I managed the migration roadmap, staff relocation, training, piloting, business change activities and go-live dates, and ran Program Launch meetings.
