Palo_Chris_2I am an entertainment executive who specializes in content and production development, expansion and launching.  My experience in broadcast, over-the-top, advertising, social, pharma, financial services and narrative gives me the ability to bring a unique insight to each project I take on.

Currently, I am the Executive Director of Video for Time Inc. / Meredith Corp.  I was brought in to rapidly expand content offerings & production operations for their major properties including People, Time, Sports Illustrated, Essence, Fortune and others.  To accomplish this I expanded operations with our flagship studios in New York, entertainment studios in Los Angeles, Food Studios in Birmingham and post production hub in Mumbai.  Since the Meredith acquisition of Time Inc., I have focused on the transformation and integration.

Prior to my position with Time Inc., I held positions with The Wealth Channel, Paul F. Harron Studios, Drexel University, The American College of Financial Services and TV Works.  I came up through the commercial production world; producing and directing content for clients including Aflac, General Mills and Waste Management.

I hold an MBA and MS in Television Management from Drexel University.  Educating the next generation is a passion of mine.  I am on the advisory board for Rutgers University’s Leading Disruptive Innovation program, taught courses for the Cinema & Television department at Drexel University and executed mobile video course delivery for the CFP® and ChFC®.

When not working you can find me cycling, trying out new vegan recipes, playing with my one-eyed cat or learning aerial silks and trapeze.
