Hi

I make something out of nothing. It’s the one trick I’ve spent a lifetime refining.

My medium is story, in whatever form it asks for: film, theatre, television, festivals, events, audio, and philanthropy, which is perhaps the most intimate form of storytelling, as it asks the audience to become part of the plot.

I grew up in Europe and have made my home in both Australia and the United States, and I’m a proud citizen of each. My French is conversational. My German extends to ordering a beer and finding the train station, though not always in that order.

I believe the bold, unguarded moments of human connection are what set an organization apart. Heart is not a soft strategy. It’s the whole strategy.

Among the many highlights of my career, I once helped Gene Wilder load paper into his fax machine. I’ve been chasing that sense of purpose ever since.

I teach yoga to stay present. I’m always glad to share a creative brainstorm, and I have never knowingly declined an ice cream cone.
