Mentor Coach | She/Her
For more than 30 years, I have produced Animation and Visual Effects, managed and produced innovative projects worldwide, and built and led creative teams. I am passionate about the art of Animation and VFX, especially about the people who create it. The best part of my career is connecting people and helping them grow and learn. A few years ago, a wonderful coach helped me define my life mission: I am an ocean that connects people from different worlds and carries boats loaded with life, knowledge, and experience.
Having the opportunity to work with the WIA team as a Mentor Coach is exactly that, and being part of this amazing team and community is one of my favorite things to do. Over the years of my career, I have worked in various Producer roles for Animal Logic, Lucasfilm, Framestore, and Rodeo FX, as well as CEO at Akkord Film. I am now the Global Head of Production at Rise FX in Berlin. I very much enjoy working as a coach, and I am also in the process of becoming an ICF-certified coach to better support diverse and creative teams globally and help animation and VFX professionals bring out their best selves while working, collaborating, and communicating — with creativity and empathy.
