Forward-thinking Senior Executive with proven record of accomplishment in the Entertainment industry during 10-year career. Driven and ambitious change manager dedicated to continuous business improvement focused on enhancing revenue and streamlining business operations. Diligent in driving profit maximization through multifaced business approaches.
Numerous legislative and industry related contacts including legislative contacts for much needed tax incentives for future productions in Florida.
Also contacts with all talent agents, casting directors, production companies, actors, as well as full knowledge of CBA'S, on set safety protocols, work environment requirements, payroll, insurance, etc.
I need now training and can hit the ground running to make our sunshine state the next Hollywood.
Free to travel, single grown kids locally, so no obstacles.
I realize that my current status as a agent presents a possible conflict of interest however we will cross that bridge when considered for hired as even though I realize it will probably be less lucrative, it will be a challenge that I would relish the opportunity to be a part of the greatest union in the world and do my part along with my team members to make SAG proud of Florida.
Stay safe and well and thanks for the consideration and opportunity.
