Innovation Operations
Accelerator

Fandom isn't content.
Or marketing or ops.
Or a c-suite strategy.
It's all of it.
Customers buy. Audiences watch. Fans invest.

Combining 25+ years of Disney, DC, and The GRAMMYs, I help brands fuse creativity with commerce, applying digital transformation, predictive analytics, and operational agility.

Spy Ninjas
16B+ Views.
44M Subscribers.
YouTube’s answer to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
This Top 50 YouTube brand was ready to grow beyond ad revenue, but lacked a roadmap to scale. Partnering with the founders, I architected a business revision: aligning talent, licensing, and investment strategies to their already rich mythology and fan-backed worldbuilding.

The result: A creator-led brand engineered like a studio franchise, with new revenue streams and long-term growth.

Disney
$150M+ in digital revenue
Disney needed fresh ways to monetize iconic franchises like Lost, Grey’s Anatomy, and Dancing with the Stars. My team designed fan-first interactive destinations, sponsorship models, and digital activations that paired storytelling with revenue innovation.

The result: $150M+ in new revenue and repeatable frameworks for future franchise monetization across Walt Disney Television.

DC
A unified fan experience=
+218% surge in traffic
+71% boost in acquisition
DC’s sprawling film, TV, publishing, and gaming universe lacked a unified fan strategy at a moment of brand reinvention. I reimagined DC’s architecture into a connected ecosystem, integrating content, community, and marketing.

The payoff: A 218% surge in traffic, a 71% boost in social acquisition, and a scalable framework that turned casual audiences into long-term loyalists.

Grammy Awards
From 1 Night a Year
To a 365 Day Business
The Recording Academy’s digital presence was treated as brand promotion, not business. As the Academy’s first Chief Digital Officer, I built a year-round digital ecosystem that expanded the GRAMMYs beyond a single broadcast.

The result: $4M in new digital revenue and a foundation for sustainable, year-round engagement.

Emmy Awards
The Oscar Backstage Pass:
An Emmy-Winning Live Experience
Overseeing a total of 7 live digital productions for The Oscars, GRAMMYs, and Emmys, awards shows were struggling to engage digital-first audiences year after year.

The solution: The Oscar Backstage Pass - the first-ever live companion app for a major awards show - that created unprecedented fan access, set the standard for second-screen engagement, and won an Emmy.

Project Spotlight
DC All Access
7 years of video making, 10,000 minutes of fandom building
DC needed a consistent way to connect with fans beyond releases.

The solution: DC All Access, a monetized YouTube series that ran for 7 years and delivered over 10,000 minutes of content. It became a daily brand touchpoint for millions of fans, bridging DC’s publishing legacy with its evolving entertainment future.

Project Spotlight
Gotham Girls
30 online episodes,
50M lifetime viewers
Long before streaming was the norm, Gotham Girls broke ground as one of the first digital-native animated series. I produced and co-wrote 30 episodes, spotlighting Gotham’s female heroes and villains.

The result: 50M lifetime views and a pioneering example of how online-first storytelling could amplify iconic IP.
