I successfully hired Project Managers, Project Engineers, a Solutions Architect, Solutions Strategist, and Product Specialist. Successfully worked on projects with CBS, ABC, NBA and Charter Communications when asked for Proof of Concept systems to help create solutions for their operations. ⓶ MEETING FACILITATION AND TRAINING TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY ► As Director of Media Operations for CNN’s Broadcast facility in New York, I put my team in the new facility to “burn in” the new systems, including transmission, feeds, & media server functionality.

I accomplished this on time & under budget.⓷ MANAGE P&L AND ALL FINANCIAL TRACKING TO STREAMLINE OPERATIONS ► Managed operations including recruitment, managing staff, operating & capital budgets, leases, & coordination with other departments.
