About
I’m a Miami native who's spent the last two decades in Los Angeles. I am a digital product leader passionate about transforming how audiences engage with content. As Executive Vice President of Digital at The CW, I drove over 100M app downloads, grew digital revenue 100-fold, and took the app to the #1 spot on the U.S. Apple App Store. With a background in strategy and product innovation, I thrive on building and leading teams that deliver exceptional results. I hold an MFA in Screenwriting, blending my love for storytelling with tech. Outside of work, I enjoy creating magic—as a member of The Academy of Magical Arts at The Magic Castle—playing golf, and spending time with my wife and two active teens.
