Measurable results of the production systems I built.

Leadership & Impact

I don’t just produce video. I build the system behind it.

At Gazprom Neft I built a centralised in-house video production function from scratch: a team of ten, a pool of 100+ contractors in four countries, annual production planning and shared visual standards across 61 subsidiaries.
