RESUME

objective

summary

My working relationships with top tier licensors and publishers such as Warner Bros., Disney, Lucasfilm, Electronic Arts, Rockstar Energy Drinks, Vans shoes, Volcom, NHS, Powell-Peralta as well as professional athletes and musicians, has given me the skills to manage relationships and contract negotiations at a highly professional level, maintaining the utmost in confidentiality as well as meeting external corporate partner goals and expectations.

Having co-founded two software development companies, I have had to wear many hats. This experience has honed my skills in management, art direction, design and asset allocation with internal and external teams to ship software on time and within budget restrictions.
