For two decades, CEOs and presidents of multibillion-dollar companies and the startups trying to upend them have trusted me to formulate and accelerate growth and innovation initiatives capitalizing on technology disruptions in media, sports, marketing, and consumer businesses. I’ve been tapped to quickly solve a CEO’s most pressing challenges, navigating between the plan, politics, and personalities to generate change and results. Whether architecting a restructuring and growth plan at WarnerMedia post AT&T acquisition, accelerating the digital transformation of Univision, or launching an esports acquisition strategy at Turner Sports, I’ve excelled at architecting and operationalizing plans and building teams that deliver.

While I’ve been a Bain & Co. trained Chief Strategy Officer, corporate entrepreneur and investor, I also understand what it takes to launch a business and risk my own capital. I founded BRaVe Ventures and scaled it profitably into an advisory and investment firm that was acquired within two years. Entrepreneurship extends to my board and volunteer roles. I’ve been dedicated to establishing MIT's Accelerator program in New York, personally invest in, and advise several early-stage funds and companies, and manage BRaVe’s investment portfolio.

I most recently served as Executive Vice President, Corporate Strategy & Operations at WarnerMedia overseeing three core functions: Corporate Strategy, Corporate Intelligence & Analytics, and Consumer Insights. WarnerMedia owns some of the most valuable brands in the world, including HBO, Warner Brothers, Adult Swim, Bleacher Report, Cartoon Network, CNN, ELEAGUE, TBS, TNT, truTV, and Turner Sports.

I was promoted to this role after serving as Chief Strategy & Ventures Officer of Turner’s largest networks, TNT and TBS, where I was responsible for developing strategies for growth and evaluating and executing strategic investments, acquisitions, and partnerships.

Prior to joining Turner, I co-founded BRaVe Ventures, a strategic advisory and investment firm serving top brands such as Turner, Viacom, CBS, A+E, and Mattel. BRaVe also made seed stage investments in media/tech companies and provided accelerator/incubator services to its investments. In 2016, after working with BRaVe for years on a consulting basis, Turner acquired the company.

Before BRaVe, I held senior executive strategy and operating roles at Univision, within the Office of the CEO and as senior vice president and head of social media. I was also a member of Bain & Company’s media and private equity practices.
