I’m a growth-focused CEO and board-level operator with deep experience scaling global businesses across media, entertainment, enterprise SaaS, and business services. I’ve led companies from pre-revenue to over $1B in revenue, delivering 200%+ ARR growth, 100%+ revenue retention, and over $2B in complex commercial contracts. My passion lies in transforming operational complexity into scalable systems, aligning teams around customer impact, and driving long-term enterprise value through strategic clarity and disciplined execution. I bring a proven track record of building high-trust, high-performance cultures while leading organizations through change, turnaround, and innovation. With expertise in rights and royalties, data analytics, and AI-powered go-to-market strategies, I’ve worked closely with the world’s largest studios, streamers, and media platforms. I’m equally comfortable in the boardroom and in the details—whether leading M&A, optimizing P&L, or developing global content supply chains. Expertise: SaaS Growth | Media & Entertainment | M&A | Digital Transformation | AI & Data Strategy | Board Governance | P&L Leadership

With over 15 years of experience, I drive transformative growth at the intersection of technology, media, and entertainment. I build robust operational infrastructures that harness AI, machine learning, and blockchain to support innovation and advance business goals. At ADIM (now Incention), I co-founded an a16z-backed creator platform that redefined creator-fan engagement and IP management—earning industry recognition for decentralized innovation and enabling me to serve as Executive Producer on Cammy & Mike, a short film celebrated at the Austin Film Festival. Previously at Whip Media, I led product initiatives, drove M&A integrations, established a Center of Excellence, and forged strategic partnerships with giants like Netflix, Amazon, and Disney—transforming the company into an enterprise SaaS leader. My early career at GradientX (acquired by Singtel), Leaf Group, Adconion Media Group (acquired by Singtel), and Yahoo! laid the foundation for my expertise in product management, business intelligence, and strategic growth. I believe in the power of technology to drive positive social and economic change, and I’m passionate about recruiting and developing high-performing teams that break boundaries and deliver market-changing results. I hold dual Master’s degrees from USC and the London School of Economics, and a Bachelor’s from Georgetown University. As a mother of two, my commitment to innovation extends to active pursuits in digital sovereignty, climate, and health initiatives.
