A little bit about me…

 I love helping make creative dreams a reality.

Sometimes this involves licensing 100+ pieces of found content like I did with Adobe’s Creativity for All  or researching 50+ female celebs to find our perfect Hera in BMW’s Zeus & Hera.

I welcome a good Biz Affairs challenge because it means I’m stretching and growing and growth is always the goal.

Sometimes this is an activation associated with a campaign like we did for Stub Hub in the middle of the day in Times Square or finding & securing the rights to show the iconic Bob’s Big Boy like I did for the Chevy Silverado 2012 Mayan Apocalypse spot.

Working as part of an integrated team to get the best end result is one of my favorite things.

This includes within my agency, with clients, with agents, production companies, talent payroll companies, music companies, etc. I love the hum of working together as one cohesive team and strive to always keep that hum going.

A little bit about me from my colleagues…

Heidi is one of the most resourceful people we’ve ever had here. She went from making sure we didn’t send letters to the wrong people to lining up sticky personalities like Arnold Schwarzeneggar and Christopher Walken. As JFK said, “We go to the moon not because it is easy, but because it is hard.” Heidi is your person for the latter. She will take on anything.
-Jeff Goodby and Rich Silverstein, Founders, Goodby, Silverstein & Partners

When the finish line feels further than ever (and somehow the timeline more imminent than ever) I find there’s often no one I can rely on more than Heidi. She’s a champion of the work, trying ideas that aren’t easy to pull off, and she maintains great relationships with all the right people. Heidi might also be the biggest proponent of the budding bromance between Chris Pine and myself, which isn’t strictly business, but it is fun.
-Clemens Zlami, Associate Creative Director, Goodby Silverstein & Partners

Heidi is truly incredible—nothing ever seems to stress her out, and her negotiation skills are second to none. She navigates even the most challenging situations with grace and efficiency. I am incredibly lucky to have worked alongside her on major projects.
-Wes Phelan, Executive Creative Director, Ogilvy

Heidi turned logistical headaches into pleasant and exciting experiences for everyone involved. She knows the answers to all of your questions before you even know what the questions are. Any company would be lucky to have Heidi on their team, and I know that for a fact.
-Andrew Congleton, Senior Art Director, Wieden+Kennedy

Heidi approaches each celebrity project as a partnership. Her communication is impeccable ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. She truly understands what is involved working with celebrity talent from amenities to approvals. The team at WME loves working with Heidi.

Heidi is well known within in the industry as one of the top tier BA Managers. I have witnessed her go above and beyond what is required to deliver for her teams and her clients every time.

Heidi is by far the best Business Affairs person I've ever worked with. She's smart, totally buttoned up with all the details, and on top of that, an absolute pleasure to work with.

Heidi is the best of the best. Not only is she extremely gifted when it comes to project management and business affairs, but she was always such a great partner to my creatives and me during my time at GSP. She was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to our paths crossing again!
-Carlos Rangel, Executive Creative Director, YETI

I have been fortunate to work with Heidi as a trusted business partner for over 15 years. Her expertise navigating through sometimes difficult music licensing negotiations for some of the highest visibility advertising projects has always been extremely professional and impressive. Working with someone who really know their business inside and out makes my job so much easier.

Heidi is the GOAT of business affairs managers. She is who I have looked up to my whole BA career and has always made herself available to talk me off ledges or just be an ear to vent to. She has extensive knowledge and experience in high profile big brand campaigns with A List celebrity…which has contributed her to being highly respected by both internal and client teams. She is confident, engaged, fun, insightful, intelligent, and professional and brings all that to her projects. I couldn’t recommend her enough and would be a no brainer to add to your team.
