I just ended a near-5-year run at Pushkin Industries, where I helped build the company and its operations from the ground up. Most recently, I was tasked with bringing client projects on board. I’ve worked with brands such as IBM, Apple, Cadillac, Tracksmith, Johns Hopkins University, Lexus, The Rockefeller Foundation, and more.

  • Legacy of Speed, a documentary-style podcast, produced for Tracksmith and PUMA, and hosted by Malcolm Gladwell

  • Go and See, a documentary-style podcast about Lexus’s human-centered design ethos

I worked at Megaphone (formerly Panoply Media) from 2017 to 2019. What started as primarily an operations and oversight role morphed into a do-it-all, all-the-time role.

I oversaw all of Panoply's owned and operated shows, including Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History and Karina Longworth's You Must Remember This. I worked very closely with our team of producers to manage show budgets, new show launches, and contract freelancers. A large part of my role relied on cross-functional team communication and collaboration. I made sure the editorial team and the sales and marketing teams were in lock step when launching new content.

For about six months, I ran Pinna, the children's podcast service Panoply launched. I did everything from managing budgets and keeping up with each show's production schedule, along with creating the content strategy and programming calendar. I identified new content for Pinna to acquire, negotiated rates, and worked through contracting with those partners. 

Before leaving Panoply/Megaphone in April 2019, I took on the role of overseeing Panoply's branded content production, which included branded podcasts and creative ads that traffic through the Megaphone Targeted Marketplace. 

Digital Media

I was with Fast Company for nearly five years. It's where I grounded myself in digital media. There, I got to create several iOS apps and an OTT app for their video content. By learning through osmosis, I figured out how to work with tech teams, manage up, and develop unique product offerings. I further solidified my product management skills, working across teams, and doing tons of research. 

Magazines

I love magazines and was fortunate enough to get to work at several large publishing companies (Rodale, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia) throughout my career. I grew my production chops in the industry, learned how to manage processes and people, and how to navigate very challenging office politics.
