What are your current roles and responsibilities, and what do you love most about the work? How is the same or different from your last role?
I’m the Executive Director and Studio Production Lead for Studio 41, Comcast’s state-of-the-art in-house production facility. I lead a team responsible for original programming, live events, and studio productions. My role covers the entire production process—from shaping the initial idea and building the right team to overseeing the shoot, post-production, and final delivery. I’m also focused on strengthening our production systems and expanding what the company’s in-house studio can offer. I love the mix of creative work and problem-solving. Every project begins with a different challenge, but the goal is always the same: find the clearest, most human way to tell the story. Previously, I was an Executive Producer on the editorial team at LinkedIn, leading video & podcast franchises centered on work, careers, and the people shaping how we think about both. I worked across documentary, interviews, social, and executive content, often building stories for a broad external audience. At Comcast, I’m still doing what I’ve always loved: finding the story, assembling the right people, and carrying an idea from concept through delivery. The biggest difference is the scale and scope of the role. I’m not only producing individual projects; I’m helping shape the broader strategy, operating model, and creative identity of an in-house studio. Employees are sophisticated viewers who are influenced by what they watch – whether the content is internal or external, it has to earn their attention.
What initiatives or projects are you working on now that excite you?
I’m focused on how corporate storytelling and production are evolving—exploring new creative approaches, technologies, and workflows that make our content more engaging while expanding what an in-house production team can do. What excites me is the opportunity to challenge the traditional idea of corporate video and create work that feels ambitious, relevant, and unexpected.
What’s the most challenging part of your job and/or the industry right now?
Storytelling is always evolving as new tools emerge and platforms continue to grow. Every platform has its own language, pace, and audience expectations, so the challenge is figuring out how a story should adapt without losing what made it worth telling in the first place. Formats will continue to change, but the foundation remains the same: understand your audience, have a clear point of view, and make them feel something. Audiences may not always know exactly why a story connects with them, but they know when it does.
What’s your advice for someone trying to get to where you are?
Be someone people want in the room when things get complicated. Talent matters, but so do reliability, judgment, and how you treat people. Careers rarely follow a straight line, so focus less on the title and more on becoming useful, adaptable, and consistently good at the work.
Off the clock: what do you do when you’re not working? How do you recharge your creative battery?
I’m a photographer and probably own more cameras than any reasonable person needs. I spend a lot of my free time traveling or walking through a city with a camera, usually shooting 35mm film on a Leica M6. Photography forces me to slow down, pay attention to the details, and look at familiar things from a different perspective.
What defines great creative video work these days?
Production value matters, but it isn’t the same as creativity. Great video has a clear point of view, understands its audience, and uses craft in service of the story. A beautifully shot piece can still feel empty, while a simple idea executed with honesty and intention can stay with you. The best work earns attention, feels distinctly human, and leaves the audience with something they didn’t have before.
