What do you do if your public speaking skills can lead to various career paths in the corporate world?
As part of my role I'm asked to speak publicly at events. I think where I'm at on this is: - it needs to be an event where I have something to contribute, that's #101; - So...I'm not interested in 'pay to play' models - where you get included on panels/keynotes because of some sponsorship. Sure, if that's what an employer wants then fine - but I'd rather be there because I am the right person, not because someone has paid for the seat; - I prefer open discussions that move the conversations forwards rather than a stilted, scripted session. Of course it's a public forum - not time for your emerging views...but let's try to move the discussion forwards rather than reciting press releases.

Project Iris
- Present
Created and launched (working with Cinedigm in the US) All3Media International's first FAST channel 'So...Real' - a lifestyle and reality long form content play available across North America. The team took this from business case, to determining route to market, to establishing content rights, work flows, branding and scheduling.
The team has grown and evolved through the project - and we've gone from one FAST to three FASTs with more on the way...Other creators -

Honors & Awards
-
Best Distribution Initiative - Content Innovation Awards 2020
Television Business International
Led the team at all3media international (a3mi Squared) that won the Best Distribution Initiative for our US AVOD service So...Real. The judge's said it is "a truly innovative use of a distributor's extensive catalogue for an exploding digital market - a very clever idea to build their own AVOD channel rather than relying on a middle partner".
Although the category name has changed, my team has effectively won the Distribution Innovation category two years running! -
Distribution Innovation Award 2019
Content Innovation Awards (Informa Media) 2019
Led the team that jointly won the Distribution Innovation Award at the 2019 Content Innovation Awards. This was awarded to all3media international for the Inside Outside - House and Garden SVoD platform, an initiative I created for the business and continue to run with the a3mi Squared team and the team at TV4 Entertainment (our partner in Inside Outside).
