I was brought into Complex to work on a shoot with NBA All Star 2017 in the midst of them being acquired by Verizon and Hearst Media. I continued beyond the shoot to help hire, recruit and train staff as the magazine transitioned into premium content. I hired around 15 new staff members over time, increased and diversified their freelance pool and built out production teams for new shows. As our teams expanded so did the ideas and content. I took a lead role in developing shows such as The Blueprint, Jobs Unlisted, Food Grails and The Culture with Jinx in addition to building out their teams and assisting with marketing strategy. I produced The Culture and Food Grails which was nominated for a James Beard award. I brought in new projects and cultivated a space for development.
