I managed the end-to-end execution process of production to delivery of high quality pieces for distribution in a variety of formats and mediums. I also managed all aspects of staff and resources within the departments, to include supervision, scheduling, recruitment, budgeting, and evaluation. Resources that I oversaw included field production equipment, television studio and sound stage, edit suites and workstations (Avid, Final Cut Pro, Adobe CS), radio studios, and audio workstations (Pro Tools, Audition).Use of my proven skills in creativity, problem solving, and detailed "fault-free" project management created success daily not only within my departments, but for the entire organization. I proactively ensure compliance with technical, organizational, and industry standards, by development and implementation of processes, procedures, and workflows. Consultation, planning, and strategic development with Engineering in areas of technical integrity on hardware, software, and equipment for content creation and distribution systems are of utmost importance to me. I would establish priorities, identify and communicate risks and mitigation plans in collaboration with all key stakeholders. While constantly leveraging knowledge from multiple sources including Programming, Marketing, Engineering, Accounting and others to ensure accurate communications. I would attend industry-related functions for the purpose of education and vendor relations. In conjunction, I would meet with department managers to suggest new procedures for sharing and distribution to improve use of resources. While driving and championing new technologies, collaborations, and improved processes to define, leverage and implement best content production and delivery practices including leading continuous improvements in cost reduction, production time and pipeline capacity.
