At Spotify, I own the full agreement lifecycle for original video content partnerships, managing 50+ Sessions Agreements and Appearance Releases across six global franchises. I helped build the pipeline infrastructure that now processes 20 to 30 deals per month for Spotify's video content pillar.

I negotiate directly with artist representatives and label legal teams, balancing partner needs with content goals. I coordinate deal execution across Global Music Marketing, Artist Partnerships, On Platform Marketing, and Brand & Creative.

Through Spotify's Music Marketing and Fans First Merchandise rotations, I've led brand activations with Nike, Dice, and Atlanta HBCU institutions, generating 46 million PR impressions on budgets up to $775K. I've also managed 200 artist merchandise campaigns, aligning campaign scope, inventory, release timing, and fan engagement data.

Previously, at D. E. Shaw & Co., I supported six Managing Directors and built reporting systems that improved data integrity and regulatory compliance. My background brings together music, deal management, operational systems, and culturally relevant partnership execution.
