With over 18 years of international experience across Europe, Latin America, and North America, I bring specialized expertise in global content strategy, financing, and co-production as a seasoned sales agent and producer.
As the Founder of the Paris-based production company, The Project, I have successfully developed, financed, and produced numerous international ventures, including Netflix Originals. My track record as a sales agent is robust, encompassing securing global distribution for over 100 projects and fostering collaborations with major industry players like The Mediapro Studio (Spain) and K5 International (Germany). I have had the privilege of representing leading projects helmed by acclaimed talents such as Carlos Saura, Isabel Coixet, Fernando Leon de Aranoa, Alberto Rodriguez, Kike Maillo, Mira Nair, Aaron Schneider, Bille August, and Zachary Heinzerling, among others.
I leverage this extensive expertise to consult with production companies, film bodies, and audiovisual institutions:
For Production Companies: I design market-ready strategies aimed at driving measurable growth, expanding international exposure, and strengthening the global viability of their projects.
For Institutions and Film Bodies: I act as a senior advisor, specializing in crafting expert audiovisual events, curating tailored programs, content, trainings, and guest lists to generate impactful connections and respond directly to their immediate industry needs.
