CREATIVE PRODUCER
AUDIO PRODUCER
SOCIALS PRODUCER
“Gary was a standout operator and media professional at Forbes Ignite. As Chief of Staff, he translated strategy into action, managing processes for planning and content, as well as coordinating with executives, partners, and other stakeholders to keep initiatives on course.
Those strengths made him an exceptional producer for our Inner Wealth podcast (2020–2022): he owned end-to-end production and promotion, including editorial planning, recording logistics, editing, distribution, show notes, and social campaigns, while maintaining a dependable release cadence.
Gary combines editorial taste with solutions-first communication. He was instrumental to the show’s success, and I’d work with him again without hesitation.”
