Director, Commercial Traffic Emea Nbcuniversal International Catalyst @NBCUniversal

London, GB

I lead the Commercial Traffic Operations for EMEA within the NBCU International One Platform organisation. Working as part of the commercial agency Catalyst, now expanded to give clients access to all of NBC Universal’s global news brands (CNBC, NBC News and MSNBC), where our previous focus was just CNBC International. Roles and responsibilities have changed a little from the CNBC role, but CNBC EMEA remains our immediate focus.A leader of a client service department, our aim is to go above and beyond for your internal and external clients. Clear emphasis on multi departmental cooperation to ensure the best results for advertising campaigns.In 2020, I was a key stakeholder in a year long project to launch a new Traffic system. I was at the forefront of developing, learning, transitioning to and launching the new Traffic system. whilst maintaining an over delivery in the existing system. I became a gatekeeper for knowledge sharing between US and International, as we transition from CNBC to NBCUniversal, forming strong bonds with colleagues Stateside. I was brought into conversations around Finances and Sales systems upgrades, given expertise and opinions on what may or may not work. I was a trusted resource internationally, which enabled me to feel truly part of the global team.I was responsible for the ideation and creation of an internal workflow for delivery of content between UK and US – removing the additional COS for third party delivery. Finally, I mentor two young colleagues based in the US, and the enthusiasm they have for their roles is infectious. Being able to give back from first hand experiences is very rewarding, and I look forward to seeing their NBCUniversal journeys continue.
