  • Buyer-Side Expertise: A proven track record of evaluating, architecting, selecting, or managing enterprise-scale media software systems, workflows, and vendor partnerships from a major studio or streaming network perspective.
  • Commercial & Strategic Acumen: Demonstrated success driving or managing large-scale capital expenditures, multi-million dollar enterprise agreements, or complex, long-cycle technology adoptions with high-stakes operational outcomes.
  • Domain Expertise:Mastery of the global media and entertainment ecosystem, with specialized knowledge in digital content mastering, title stewardship, post-production, and global servicing pipelines.
  • Technical Fluency:Ability to "talk shop" fluidly with technology directors and chief engineers. Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure, API-driven workflows, media asset management (MAM), and professional audio/video delivery systems.
  • Executive Presence & Communication:Exceptional storytelling and negotiation skills, with a demonstrated ability to align creative stakeholders, technical engineers, and corporate procurement teams toward shared strategic goals.
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Communication, Business, or a related field; or equivalent elite-level professional industry experience.


Preferred Qualifications
  • Executive Network: An established, high-level "rolodex" of contacts across the technical, operational, and creative leadership teams of major global studios, streaming platforms, and post-production houses.
  • Workflow Transformation Expertise: Proven experience leading large teams or sweeping corporate initiatives centered on scaling operations and turning ambiguous technical challenges into streamlined, sustainable outcomes.
  • Strategic Frameworks: Familiarity with modern strategic selling methodologies or executive corporate governance structures designed to manage complex, multi-stakeholder deal flows.
