@joshkusinitz
I build creative operations and strategic roadmaps for entertainment, technology, and early-stage ventures.
What I'm looking for
I've built operating cadence, milestone tracking, and partner-pipeline infrastructure at DELvR, taking cross-functional work from pre-launch through MVP launch.
I partnered with the CEO to turn an investor deck into a business plan and fundraising narrative that secured accelerator placements and early seed funding.
Through Messy Humans Media, I advise studios, production companies, start-ups, and investors on development workflows, creative investments, financial forecasts, and operations strategy across tech, gaming, events, and AI.
At Amblin Partners, I managed operational infrastructure for a nine-figure development slate, led 6–8 analysts, and aligned Creative, Business Affairs, Production, and Marketing from script evaluation through greenlight.
