HEAD OF TALENT

Hi. I make it happen. I build relationships, negotiate deals, and run a team. That’s right -- I lead Outloud Talent and I’m where the rubber meets the road. I help talented creators both monetize and grow their channels to help accelerate the creator’s business and Outloud Talent forward. I’ll continuously network and identify strong partnerships for creators to monetize. It’s true – I’m a pro at relationships and negotiations, but what really makes me successful is my relentless pursuit of new opportunities to help creators go further faster.

In this role, my support for creators is true and heartfelt. At the forefront of my decision making is always what’s best for creators and their future. I’ll nurture and grow a highly valuable roster of talent by providing unique one-on-one support and guidance. My can-do attitude allows me to anticipate roadblocks creators commonly face and engineer ways around them. My goal is to help creators get deals done - to be neither a doormat for brands to walk over, nor a needless impediment. I take my ego out of the equation and negotiate the best possible deal.

While The Outloud Group already manages a handful of big creators (Hey Mark Rober. Good Day, Destin Sandlin. What’s Happening Matt Carriker) I will be responsible for Outloud Talent, a new line of business for Outloud. I’ll own the book of creators and the P&L. But at the end of the day, my core job is to manage a growing stable of creators. I’ll deliver on this by continuously seeking relevant and budding new talent to join us. I’m perceptive and a long-thinker. And while nobody knows exactly what outcomes will be, I will think strategically to ensure we best grow Outloud Talent & creators together.

I appreciate the chance to have a position that connects creators and brands and I’m all in when it comes to working with great people and having fun while building a company I believe in. I’m eager to show the sky’s the limit and take responsibility to ensure we get this right. I care about perfecting the details and I'm going to go above and beyond to make sure creators and brands are happy. I understand that approaching the work I do relationally is not only the most satisfying way, but it’s the only way.

THE LOWDOWN

Here's my background and what I've done before joining The Outloud Group:

-- I have 3+ years’ experience managing creators, developing talent partnerships and I’m ready to take on the challenge of making meaningful connections between creators and brand partners.

-- I’m a self-starter and have a desire to build my role professionally, as well as lead and grow a new Outloud offering

-- I’ve got a track record of running a business. Simply put, I’m comfortable owning a line of business and I’ve already lived this experience

-- I’ve got a strong track record of identifying new creators to join my talent roster based on the specific goals and objectives of the business unit and can do this with a sense of ease and finesse

-- I’m ahead of the curve when it comes to creative trends, strategies, best practices, and the ever-changing features of social media platforms

-- I uniquely understand the creator’s perspective and can translate that to brand speak like a champ. I take pride in bridging the gap between the needs of the two parties. My negotiating and mediating skills are top notch

-- I openly embrace our revenue targets and KPIs to drive the creators to achieving long term success and my track record of consistently measuring these important metrics is clear and well defined.

-- I think both creatively and analytically when approaching a brand partnership - analyzing the creator’s assets, evaluating demographics, researching the brand’s product and industry, and optimizing for campaign performance

-- I’m a leader. I might lead quietly or boldly, but I’ve got a knack for getting people to believe in what I’m doing….and they should because it’s legit. Regardless of what I've done, I’m definitely comfortable meeting new people and communicating my ideas
