I manage outside broadcasts at all stages from inception to delivery. I
enjoy working closely with production stakeholders to realise their goals in
a professional, efficient and resilient way.
This involves designing, building, operating and maintaining production
facilities worldwide to the highest technical standards.
Projects are always planned to remain within budget scope.
These can vary from music concerts to agile breaking news deployments.
I am currently an Outside Broadcast Manager for the BBC with 19 years
experience in critical broadcast roles.
My work includes Multi-camera studio/gallery design and operation,
satellite/IP/RF broadcast paths, Network design and connectivity, Editing
system and workflow design, I am also a CAA approved PfCO drone pilot
