As a forward-thinking leader, I have driven new IP, innovation, licensing deals, and global partnerships, consistently delivering top-notch products. Spearheading toy design innovation, development, and strategy, I was instrumental in securing critical partnerships with major franchises like DC, Monster Jam, and Wizarding World.I excel at crafting innovative and strategic design presentations to secure top license agreements. Notably, my efforts led to a 14.8% increase in the Wheels & Action category, adding $57.3 million in gross product sales. The Monster Jam partnership resulted in a $1 billion, 10-year deal. Additionally, leading the design for the Wizarding World pitch contributed to a 32.8% revenue increase in the Preschool and Dolls & Interactive category, amounting to an additional $200.1 million in sales.With a knack for managing diverse teams and substantial budgets, I have effectively overseen teams of up to 35 members and managed budgets exceeding $3 million, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget. My leadership has led to a 100% improvement in team productivity and a significant reduction in operational costs.Navigating the intricacies of the design and development landscape, I bring a wealth of experience, evidenced by the successful launch of dozens of product lines and a significant increase in market reach. I maintain positive and productive work environments, and during my tenure at Spin Master, I built high-performing design teams with nearly 0% attrition.
