ABOUT JADE DEACON
As a lifelong fan of storytelling in all its forms and a passionate consumer of content (TV, movies, books, podcasts, to name a few), I’m fortunate to have built a career in the television industry.I’m a media operations leader with 20 years of industry experience, including 14 years specializing in media distribution, content operations, and asset management ecosystems. I design and lead content distribution pipelines that support global delivery, working at the intersection of operations, systems, and strategy. This includes ownership of DAM, Title Management, and rights-driven workflows that enable teams to scale efficiently while maintaining quality, compliance, and strong partner relationships.Throughout my career, I’ve led enterprise system implementations and helped bring structure to complex, often fragmented workflows, always with a focus on the people behind the process. I take pride in understanding how teams work so I can help build structures that help them work smarter, more effectively, and deliver results in an industry that continues to evolve. I’m comfortable collaborating across technical, legal, financial, and creative stakeholders, translating between disciplines to create practical, sustainable solutions.I’m known as an authentic, empathetic leader who stays calm in fast-paced environments. What motivates me most is turning complexity into clarity, allowing teams to focus on what really moves the business forward. I value strong cross-functional relationships, clear communication, and data-informed decision-making. I thrive in environments where change is constant and thoughtful execution matters.
