With over a decade in broadcast media, I have a wealth of experience launching and rebranding channels across the globe including services across Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa. I am highly organised and manage huge amounts of information. This includes tracking global programming and managing a large number of relationships with rights holders and producers. I am also responsible for advising on the best possible content to acquire for our channels in line with the editorial strategy of BBCWW's channels. I am a skilled negotiator leading large scale deals acquiring programming across multiple territories, genres and platforms with both UK distributors and US studios. I am also comfortable working with large amounts of data related to budgets and modelling the impact of investment in specific programming. I am always willing to take on new challenges that step beyond my everyday responsibilities and have an appetite to learn about developments in New Media and other aspects of my industry to ensure that both me and the rest of the team responsible for acquiring programming for BBCWW’s channels continue to deliver the best possible services to their viewers. My key achievements include: - Working across the successful launch of 10 channels in 12 months.- Regularly sourcing blue chip Programming brands from UK rights holders and US studios.- Closing pan-territory deals encompassing over 25 channel feeds. - Acquisition of around 2,000 hours of content in a single year.
