About me

I am a TV and Film Executive and consultant with a rich background in media and entertainment industry, stretching from film and TV development and production, strategy, business development, sales and consulting. In addition to a degree in politics, I studied filmmaking at NYFA and received a Master’s in Creative Business for Entrepreneurs and Executives from the prestigious NFTS. I started my career as a project manager working on marketing campaigns, events and films for political parties, the Olympic committee and the Swiss and Indian government with Light Artist Gerry Hofsetter. At TimeLine Film Switzerland I worked as an assistant producer, camera operator and editor on ads for brands such as Coca-Cola. During my master’s degree, I worked in creative production and business development at Platonic Films, producing commercials and documentaries and leading client acquisitions, sales and strategy. I acquired the company's first 2 clients and grew the team from 2 to 5 people. My strategic acumen is further evidenced by her role as Director, Development & Strategy at Anyway Content where I led the pitch and sales efforts of the company, developed TV showsand associate produced the company's first pilot for Warner Brothers Discovery. In 2021, I founded my own production company Helvetica Films, having produced 6 films with BAFTA-nominated creatives and Olivia Wilde as an executive producer to date. With a deep understanding of the business landscape, I have consulted for a wide range of media and entertainment businesses, have served as an external assessor for the Oxford MBA and at NFTS and have been a guest speaker at the University of Exeter MBA.
