My career has been built on one idea: great stories, in the right hands, can become global brands that drive revenue, reach audiences everywhere, and stand the test of time. As Chief Entertainment Officer at Gap Inc., I am launching the Fashiontainment platform across Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, and Athleta — four brands that have shaped culture for generations. We are building on that legacy through licensing, content, and strategic partnerships that deepen engagement, unlock new revenue streams, and drive long-term growth. We see our stores as stages where stories come to life, major moments are amplified, and customers can engage with great products and experiences in new ways. Previously, across more than two decades with Paramount and Nickelodeon, I led work that elevated creative ideas into global enterprises and connected with audiences in meaningful ways. We turned a yellow sea sponge into a global icon, revitalized Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and scaled Paw Patrol into the #1 preschool brand. That work grew into gaming, live experiences, and consumer products, always focused on unlocking the potential of great stories and the people behind them. I have always believed that leadership is built on clarity, connection, and trust. That means setting a clear direction, following through, staying connected to people, and making room for new voices. I bring this perspective to my board work with Lindblad Expeditions, Stella McCartney, and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. My focus is on connecting strategy to purpose, creativity to performance, and organizations to their next stage of growth. My goal is to build what endures: brands that connect, teams that inspire, and ideas that create lasting value. If the work makes people smile along the way, that is usually a sign we are on the right track.
