As a dynamic and highly skilled Executive Producer and Showrunner, I have a proven track record in international TV
production and format development, spanning non-scripted and scripted content. With expertise in prime-time
entertainment, reality formats, quiz shows, dating, live events, comedy, documentary, and music programming,
I have worked on some of the world’s most successful television formats.
My impressive portfolio includes marquee shows like X Factor, Got Talent, First Dates, and The Bachelor franchise. As an expert in global entertainment, I have played a pivotal role in rolling out First Dates, The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Take Me Out across territories including the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Sweden, Argentina, Japan, and Greece. I have also worked directly with international broadcasters, spearheading the adaptation and localisation of global entertainment brands.
During my career, I have held senior executive roles at Fox, Fremantle, and Warner Bros., managing large-scale productions across multiple time zones. I have led high-performing teams, overseen live galleries, managed complex production logistics, and successfully negotiated global format sales. At Warner Bros., I played a key role in the international expansion of First Dates, amplifying its reach and commercial success.
Beyond production, I am a sought-after consultant, providing strategic guidance on content localisation, editorial direction, and international sales. My ability to identify emerging talent and cultivate long-standing industry relationships has solidified my reputation as a leading force in global television production.
With an extensive network spanning entertainment, music, comedy, and documentary sectors, my career has connected me with high-profile figures from Amanda Holden—whom I booked as a contestant on Blind Date—to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whom I worked with in Kyiv on Ukrainian Show Choir Challenge.
A visionary leader, I continue to drive innovation in global entertainment, ensuring that formats thrive in diverse markets while maintaining their core appeal. Based in Ireland, I am available for work across the UK and worldwide.
