An award-winning Executive Producer, with proven success developing and delivering a slate of specialist factual content across television, audio and digital platforms. My expertise in factual storytelling and first class journalism is combined with a deep understanding of how to engage different audiences across primetime TV, podcasting, Youtube and on social. I have proven commercial success in building returning factual brands across multiple platforms - most recently creating the #1 most popular podcast on BBC Sounds Just One Thing with Michael Mosley. Under my leadership and commitment to excellence my teams achieve regular awards success - from an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Science and Technology Programming, to regular nominations for the Broadcast Digital Award for Best Shortform Documentary (won in 2020, nominated in 2022 and 2023).
