What I Bring

I'm a senior production leader who steps into complex, ambiguous work and creates clarity. I've spent 25+ years bringing large-scale games to market across console, PC, VR, and live service — from Star Wars and BioShock to Tomb Raider and Horizon Worlds.

My value shows up in three ways:

I bring judgment to unclear decisions

Production at scale is about trade-offs you can't fully model in advance. I navigate ambiguity by assessing risk, dependencies, and impact — not just executing a plan, but shaping what the plan should be when the ground shifts.

I stabilize teams under pressure

When deadlines compress or direction changes, teams need someone who can absorb complexity, make hard calls, and keep momentum. I create space for the team to do their work by owning the messy stuff — scope negotiation, dependency management, and keeping leadership aligned on what's real.

I ship at scale

I've led production across AAA console, live service operations, and VR platforms. That means managing certification across 15+ territories, coordinating work across disciplines and time zones, and delivering against commitments when the margin for error is small.
