I’m an industry professional with substantial global experience covering many different roles in both production and post production. I am accustomed to delivering to deadlines and working under pressure to successfully complete projects. My international experience has taught me how to work well with many diverse cultures to get the most out of local teams, whilst making many long term friends in the process. My move to work for Pinnacle Systems in Product Management allowed me to help increase sales of Pinnacle’s existing products and also work through the entire product lifecycles. This included the launch and sales growth through to product sustaining and the EOL of products. The move to Avid through acquisition was not only successful, but rewarding, leading to the roles described below. While at Avid I had a dynamic and high profile Solutions Development role responsible for Avid's EAME Archive business which grew from $2M to being worth over $8M in less than a year. This an exciting time in this sector, with shrinking advertising revenue, customers need to maximise the revenue potential of their media assets. I provide the tools to help them realise this goal.My other key role was managing Avid's 3rd party relationships in EAME. This wide ranging role offered the chance to work with many different companies to help provide Avid's customers with best of breed solutions and the most optimal workflows available. This role was becoming more and more proactive as Avid sought out new and exciting partnerships.Experienced broadcast product marketing manager, excellent communicator, likes nothing better than pitching to customers in highly competitive situations. Focusing on the customer’s needs to tailor product presentations for the customer, with focus on workflow and ROI.Specialties: Constantly adding value to the operation, enabling sales, systems design, problem solving, solutions provider, flexible yet predictable process designer....fixer!
