The work

I integrated and delivered material from Duran Duran, the CBSO, Tony Iommi, RTKal, Daniel Pemberton, Dan Jones and the State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry — producing stadium stems, broadcast-compliant stereo mixes, and in-ear cue mixes so performers could play live and in sync.

Under pressure

The role demanded extraordinary organisation, asset management and communication — staying calm as executive changes were made right up to the day of the ceremony.
