Experience
Consultant - Producer Director
Jan 2008 — Present · El Segundo, CA, US
I am a producer of the multi-media events for Mattel where we launch licensed merchandise for movie studios including Disney, Warner Brothers and NBC Universal. Film and television properties like Jurassic World, Batman and Minions generate hundreds of millions of dollars from the deals that are closed at these events.• I am a master of managing a thousand moving pieces to guarantee deadlines.• I was pulled in last minute to produce an event for Jurassic World. I led a team of over thirty to recreate a functional set from the film in less than a week. • I\'m a universal translator who carries the message of the brand to every team leader responsible for the project. • The only way to get the best work out of every division on time is to have the experience and knowledge about what it takes to create their exact piece of the puzzle.
