As a strategic force behind a complex, multi-segment category, I continually pursued and executed new business and revenue growth opportunities across traditionally underutilized channels. By building relationships with global partners outside of the entertainment industry, including education, airlines, and the armed forces, I reversed a years-long stagnation and primed the division to drive brand value alongside the larger Disney organization.Key Projects:► Created, planned, and executed a multi-channel category growth initiative alongside the Army & Air Force Exchange Service C-suite, launching dozens of “Disney at the Exchange” locations worldwide to generate millions in annual consumer product retail sales.► Proposed and launched a quarterly kids entertainment package for airlines across global regions, streamlining content delivery and licensing procedures while driving additional business development across multiple teams.►Successfully pitched Lucasfilm on groundbreaking brand and revenue opportunities for allowing first-run Star Wars films to be licensed to the Disney Cruise Line, beginning with Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
