Biography

I'm an author, filmmaker, and Hollywood creative entrepreneur. I write, executive produce major productions, and discover and develop content creators whose films have grossed more than $1.25 Billion in global box office.

As one of the very first independent literary managers in Hollywood, I discovered 10 Things I Hate About You; Rounders; an Emmy-winning director, and a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, to name a few. I've also launched, shaped, guided and grown the prolific and profitable careers of scores of talented fellow creative artists, including the biggest female comedy writing brand in the movie business.

My book, How To Succeed On Purpose, was hailed as "a top business book every entrepreneur and startup founder should read" and has been described as a "gem" and "little spiritual masterpiece." It is appears on lists alongside books by Seth Godin, Guy Kawasaki, Eric Reis and Peter Thiel.

I've also penned a play, hosted a web series, directed a feature, created several docuseries and written a book. I've taught branding and teamwork at Stanford University, guided start-ups in media and technology, and am a veteran content creator with more than 25 years discovering talent, shaping creative works, and deal-making. Lots and lots (and lots!) of deal-making.

I've produced movies (10 Things I Hate About You); developed A-list talent from scratch, driven the publication of more than a dozen authors, worked closely with the Chopra family, edited graphic novels and packaged scores of film and TV projects.

I seek talent, develop projects and curate material for the global marketplace from offices in Europe. When you think about inspirational, aspirational, innovative IP and content creators working at the height of their talent to tell meaningful stories that matter, think of me.
