Cass McLean
@cassmclean
I turn ambiguous priorities into reliable executive support, operations, and live-event results.
What I'm looking for
I've led end-to-end operations for The Public House, Robinson Media, and The Moon, coordinating vendors, contracts, schedules, talent, invoicing, and live-event logistics when there is no room for error.
As the owner of Skychaser Photography, I manage client acquisition, contracts, calendars, budgets, delivery, and local branding partnerships independently. I bring discretion, calm judgment, and a practical ability to build systems, resolve problems in real time, and move competing priorities through to completion.
