Scope

During the early phase of my career, I had the extraordinary opportunity to provide financial consulting for some of the most iconic entertainment franchises in history. Working with studios including Disney, 20th Century Fox, Sony, and Warner Brothers, I delivered financial oversight, variance reporting, and profitability modeling for global tentpole releases.

The Franchises

The portfolio of franchises I worked on reads like a who's who of global entertainment: Star Wars (Lucasfilm/Disney/Fox), Pirates of the Caribbean (Disney), Harry Potter (Warner Brothers), and Spider-Man (Sony). Each franchise presented unique financial challenges and opportunities, from managing massive production budgets to optimizing global distribution strategies.

The Experience

This early career experience gave me an unparalleled education in large-scale financial management. Working on projects of this magnitude taught me the importance of precision, the value of robust reporting systems, and the critical role that financial discipline plays in the success of even the most creatively ambitious ventures.
