About me

Intro

I build and run creative operations at global scale. Over the past seven years at OCUS, I led photo post-production and quality operations across EMEA, North America, and APAC scaling from 3,000 to ~12,000 assets per day while maintaining a sub-2% rejection rate. I designed the operating model from scratch: standardized acceptance criteria, taxonomy governance, automated intake systems, and content guidelines that enabled regional teams to deliver brand-consistent assets without sacrificing local relevance. What drives me is the intersection of creative operations and platform development. I partner closely with product and engineering teams to evolve systems and creative tools based on real stakeholder feedback, implementing Al-assisted workflows that raise both quality and throughput. I'm currently exploring leadership roles in creative operations, marketing production, studio management, and content governance particularly in luxury, beauty, and tech companies building world-class creative engines.
