  • A robust professional network and deep knowledge of key media partners (CTV, premium news, social), with a track record of staying ahead of industry mergers, platform pivots, and evolving publisher capabilities
  • Deep understanding of the digital media ecosystem and market dynamics, with a proven ability to leverage that knowledge to secure strategic investment advantages
  • Exceptional financial, legal, and operational acumen, with specific experience in media credit management, compliance, and contract review
  • Technical literacy regarding data privacy regulations and identity solutions to ensure all partnerships and data standards are future-proofed
