What I'm looking for

I'm looking for greater responsibility for complex projects, clients, and budgets in an international, modern environment that values autonomy, adaptability, pragmatic collaboration, and new technology such as AI-supported workflows.

At GTB / VMLY&R, I manage international photo and film productions for Ford of Europe, from planning through delivery. I coordinate clients, creative teams, production partners, budgets, timings, and studio or on-location shoots across Europe.

I began in creative project management at MAC Studios and Kerpers Innovation, building a practical bridge between structured planning and hands-on producing. I bring eight years of agency experience, stay calm through changing requirements, and find pragmatic solutions without losing sight of the overall project.
