I work as an executive producer and I also act as a consultant and business advisor to companies in the UK and USA. I was co-founder of Lion Television and grew the company from a start-up to become a highly successful and respected production company with bases in London, Glasgow and New York. I founded and ran Lion's US subsidiary and have experience working with a wide range of UK and international broadcasters, SVOD's, on-line platforms and cable networks.

During my time at Lion we won many industry accolades including BAFTA, Royal Television Society, Broadcast and Emmy Awards and we were regularly voted as being one of the best production companies to work for in the UK.I have over 10 years' experience as a board member in the non-profit sector. I was Chair of the Indie Training Fund and I led ITF through its merger with Creative Skillset.
