WORK HISTORY
VP, Distribution @Gkids
New York, NY, US
As head of distribution at GKIDS I have overseen the theatrical releases of Studio Chizu\'s BELLE (2022), Cartoon Saloon\'s WOLFWALKERS (2020), CoMix Wave\'s WEATHERING WITH YOU (2020), and Studio Trigger\'s PROMARE (2019), among many others. In 2023, I planned and executed the festival and theatrical rollout of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli\'s THE BOY AND THE HERON; the film became the first animated or Japanese film selected as the Opening Night film at Toronto, going on the earn over $46 million at the domestic box office and win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature (the first Japanese feature to do so since 2003). From 2020 to 2022, I also established operations and best practices for the GKIDS online store, supporting the distribution of premium home video products such as the NEON GENESIS EVANGELION Ultimate and Collector\'s Editions. I provide key feedback on marketing strategies and creative materials across all titles.
