Podcast strategy, editorial & growth
My career in the podcast industry began a decade ago. Since then, I’ve had the great fortune to manage and grow three different podcast divisions, two of which I helped build from scratch. My roles have included overseeing every side of the business on small teams: from ideation, development and piloting to pitching, selling, and negotiating a deal with major buyers to building a production team and executing a show that cuts through all the noise to meet brands and audiences where they are. Below is a sample of shows I’ve worked on in variety capacities.
