Read MoreA highly motivated Head of Production/Production Executive with strong leadership skills and many years of production experience; having worked at the BBC for over 20 years (mostly as Production Executive) and then in the indie sector. Extremely experienced in factual documentaries, but I have also worked on a wide variety of content, including live OBs, studio shows and factual entertainment. I love working as part of a friendly team with both production management and editorial colleagues and juggling many projects with a variety of budget levels.
I worked in BBC History for 8 years as well as looking after a large slate of Arts programming across London, Bristol and Scotland; a wonderful role which I very much enjoyed.
I then worked at VICE for 10 months overseeing the VICE Studios Operation on a variety of productions for BBC, Channel 5 and Channel 4. I really enjoyed adjusting to a different environment and found this role very interesting after many years at the BBC.
Most recently, I worked at Wild Blue Media for several years; working closely with the MD and Creative Director, on a variety of landmark history documentaries such as Lost Cities with Albert Lin, Ancient China from Above and various others for National Geographic and other broadcasters. Also, documentaries such as Stonehenge; the Hidden Secrets for Science Channel and Channel 5 and Lost Kingdoms of the Amazon for Channel 4 and Discovery.
In terms of skills, I compile budgets and schedules, liaise with broadcasters and the legal affairs team, run safety meetings prior to shoots, check Risk Assessments, help to find solutions and provide support and leadership to the Line Producers throughout production and delivery and manage cashflow.
I am now looking for a new opportunity and also enjoy working at Production Executive level.
