Executive Summary
Producer and production manager with extensive experience at leading German advertising agencies.
As an Executive Producer, I oversee national and international film, photography, content, and moving-image productions across the entire production lifecycle—from budget planning and cost estimation to the selection and management of production partners, right through to final delivery.
I have managed productions with budgets ranging from the low five-figure range to over €2–3 million, executing projects in Europe, North and South America, and South Africa.
My responsibilities include planning and managing complex productions, and coordinating collaboration between creative, account management, production, post-production, and external partners.
In addition to traditional commercial film production, I possess extensive experience in post-production, specializing in editing, color grading, VFX, and CGI.
Over the past few years, I have integrated AI-driven processes into existing workflows and overseen full-AI film projects. I view the use of AI as a complement to established production methods and as an opportunity to strategically enhance creative and production processes.
In leadership roles, I have built and managed production teams, refined production workflows, and established standards for efficient, cost-effective project execution. I work in a structured, solution-oriented manner, maintaining a clear focus on quality, deadlines, and budget.
