Content Director

## About

I have 30 years of experience in creating engaging, high quality content\. As a filmmaker, I directed the Real Da Vinci Code, one of the highest ever\-rating factual programmes on Channel 4\. I returned to the channel as a commissioner responsible for Time Team, the most successful history brand on television\. I took that experience on to Discovery and worked across the EMEA region, developing new channels and commissioning award winning short form content\. This led me to Al Jazeera English, commissioning and producing a range of series with a particular focus on digital distribution\. When not at work I'm obsessed with one goal, to get to the Crossfit Games\.
