Adding logicto the magic.

I help ambitious creative ideas become exceptional work — combining production craft, creative problem-solving and commercial rigour with 20+ years of making things happen around the world.

Craft first.
Scale when it helps.

I’ve spent my career at the point where creativity, production and business meet: building teams, shaping production strategies, leading complex global shoots and finding smarter ways to make ambitious work without sanding off what makes it special. More recently, that has meant helping transition global accounts into new operating models, designing the workflows and systems that let production scale without losing the idea, and exploring how GenAI and AI-enabled workflows can expand what creative teams can make.

What I bring

Make the
ambitious
makeable.

Production shouldn’t start at production. When an idea is exciting but the route to making it isn’t obvious yet, I bring production into the creative conversation, build the right team around the problem, pressure-test feasibility and budget, and create enough structure for specialists to do their best work. I’ve done that on individual films, multi-market launches with 500+ deliverables, and global production operating models spanning 13 markets.

Been around.
Still curious.

From Head of Moving Images in Hamburg to global production leadership in London, I’ve led production for Volkswagen, BMW, MINI, PayPal, Mars, Heineken, Toyota, Lloyds, McCain, Diageo and more.

I’ve managed multidisciplinary teams of up to 40 people, overseen multi-million-pound productions and eight-figure production businesses, and worked with creative teams, directors, artists, technologists, clients and procurement around the world.

Technology changes the toolbox. The job remains the same: protect the idea, assemble brilliant people and make something worth watching.

Proud Girl Dad.
I run, but never away.

Case Studies

Case study 01

BMW iX2 ×
Lil Miquela

The brief asked a deliberately strange question: what happens when a virtual personality experiences the physical world? The answer required film production, CG, AI-assisted face work and stills to behave as one production rather than separate disciplines. As Executive Producer, I worked across the agency, client and specialist production/post partners to turn that creative ambition into a workable production ecosystem — while the vehicle itself was still confidential.

Case study 02

See Our
Other Side

A global launch built around extraordinary access: nine of the world’s most recognisable footballers, captured away from the pitch for a new digital fan club designed to connect players directly with fans.

The challenge was coordination at celebrity scale. The 60-second launch film brought together David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr, Dele Alli, Benjamin Mendy and other founding players, each revealing something of life away from football. It sat within a much wider launch spanning strategy, comms, media, events and social distribution across major international markets.

Every Lesson
Shapes a Life

Havas London’s first teacher-recruitment campaign for the Department for Education followed one girl from her nervous first day at school through to leaving at 18. The production balanced cinematic storytelling with authenticity, including real teachers in the supporting cast. As Executive Producer, I helped lead production on a campaign designed to live beyond a single film across the wider Get Into Teaching ecosystem.

Haig Club —
Leave As You
Arrived

A responsible-drinking message made as entertainment rather than instruction. Directed by Jonas Åkerlund and fronted by David Beckham, the film plays a night out backwards — turning the campaign line “Leave As You Arrived” into the production idea itself. Celebrity, choreography and craft come together in a deceptively simple piece of visual storytelling.
