A highly experienced Development Exec and Head of Development - who loves noisy ideas and challenging productions. I work across multiple genres - documentary and current affairs, as well as comedy entertainment and specialist factual. This dexterity has earnt me a reputation for innovation and a long list of commissions - including several returning series.

I'm particularly passionate about documentaries - and can be relied upon to negotiate sensitive access and navigate complex compliance issues, as well as shape the editorial of technically complicated and tonally sensitive projects. Recent commissioned projects have included working with bereaved families, defendants in criminal cases and the organised crime unit. 

Passionate about telly and story, I like the detail of development as well as the big pitch - working out the structure of a narrative, or the mechanics of a format, and producing powerful posters and sizzle reels. I'm also skilled at managing teams and find satisfaction in helping junior colleagues develop their skills (as well as shows). 

Often taking projects into production, I’ve directed full crews, self-shot second camera, set up tricky foreign shoots and written detailed scripts - as well as edit produced for both comedy and documentary.
