About

Senior Events Producer and Technical Director with 15 years across digital production for global brands including Spotify, Google and YouTube, with the last 7 focused on live event production and technical direction.

I produce and technically direct live events from initial scoping and budgets right through to running the gallery on show day. At Spotify I deliver around 50 events a year for both internal and external clients, managing overlapping workstreams across pre-production, on-site execution and post-production. I work collaboratively with creative and design teams from the outset to translate briefs into executable production plans, then own the technical delivery right through to strike and post-event debrief.

I oversee the stage's full broadcast infrastructure and backline, building and coordinating technical crews to manage day-to-day operations and stepping in to troubleshoot directly when needed. I'm equally comfortable owning the client conversation and the gallery.

Winner of the Micebook Best DE&I Initiative award 2023 for an award-winning neurodiversity film produced for Google.
