Jo is an outstanding leader and a huge creative force within the media industry. She has re-invented tired, long running brands but has also been responsible for fresh new project ideas that are accessible, entertaining and relatable. She builds strong and trusted relationships with key commissioners and continually innovates - finding new approaches to any project she takes on - always able to see ways of expanding a brand beyond its conventional parameters. Her talent springs from her exceptional journalistic skills. She has a keen understanding of editorial narratives and how to story tell. These skills mean she can run fast turn around productions and manage the challenges of live broadcasts . She is an empathetic and charismatic leader - able to nurture small individual teams and huge, diverse complex ones. I love working with her and would not hesitate to do so again should the opportunity arise.
