About Matthew Puthoff

As a Media Support Professional, I initiate and manage major accounts and deliver exemplary customer experiences for broadcast (TV), cinema, unscripted, and reality media companies. This includes support for onsite, hybrid, and remote productions. My ability to pinpoint clients’ exact needs and quickly execute has resulted in agreements with the industry\'s largest clients, including NBC, CBS, Netflix, ESPN, MLB, and the NFL. I add value by generating highly profitable business, which facilitated my being continuously employed during furloughs and layoffs in 2020 and 2021. Additionally, I have had the good fortune of working with great people over the course of my career and have gained a reputation for an engaging and responsive communication style.Key Expertise: Cross-Functional Teams Key Partnerships Team Leadership National Accounts Major / National Accounts Production Equipment / Systems Complex Problem Solving Logistical Expertise
