Summary
I have been working as a media manager for 25 years, including my professional qualification. Regardless of the issues involved in producing films and alternative media, over the years I have become an expert in implementing strategies for brand development and global growth. I am familiar with the concepts of planning and business development in the entertainment industry. The business side is an integral part of my work alongside creative ideas and innovation. I also have practical experience in project management and production and have learnt this "from scratch". I have been working actively in networks and partnerships for years, both nationally and internationally. My current topic is the collaboration of AI and human skills.
