Skilled in development, creative development, finance, financial management, business planning and people leadership. Passionate about bringing teams together to get the very best from each other for storytelling. Proudly worked on multiple award-winning shows and produced pilots (US and overseas), presentations and series. I am an international TV development executive with more than 20 years of experience working with multi-national production companies. For the past 6 years, I have been president of my own company: GreenCouch Entertainment (GCE) creating and producing award-winning content for the US, including Youtube Originals, CBS, CW, E!, TLC, and Food Network and overseas, with Comarex in Latin America, GMM in Thailand, and STV & ITV in the UK.

I also worked with global advertising agency BBH on their Creative Studio initiative with Scooter Braun. During my 13 year tenure at two global production companies - as head of development for ITV Studios America and VP of development at Fremantle - I have overseen and produced more than 75 pilots/ presentations for the US market - producing both in the States and overseas, including the UK, Holland, France and Israel, and in all genres; game, dating, hidden camera to syndicated talk and docu-reality. At ITV, I was also across all brand-integration for flagship shows including Hell’s Kitchen, Best Time Ever and The Chase. With expert knowledge of the Int. format market, I have attended MIPCOM for the past decade and have been invited to speak on panels by Reed Midem. My journalist background in Hollywood has also helped me with ties to key talent and agency partnerships and, on a side note, I was the royal correspondent for 4 years for magazine new show The Insider
