Creating Original Formats, Developing Teams:
Shaping distinctive TV concepts and building teams to bring them to life.

As an experienced and specialist Head of Development in broadcast TV, I’ve developed, pitched and secured access for successful shows across genres, formats and channels. I’ve worked both in-house and freelance at the BBC — including within Science, Documentaries & Specialist Features, and cross-genre development teams — as well as across the independent sector.

From returnable formats and factual entertainment to live events, documentaries and specialist factual, I’ve created everything from pitch decks to sizzle reels, led brainstorms, and written compelling proposals that strike the right tone for commissioners and funding partners. These development skills — from shaping original concepts to leading creative teams and presenting ideas at the highest level — have been invaluable throughout my career. They continue to underpin my approach to storytelling, client engagement, strategy and creative leadership across platforms and international markets.
