At Utopia Music I led the development of an online music licensing platform for advertising agencies and brands using Musimap's emotional metadata tagging technology and NLP for lyrics analysis. This required overseeing a team of musicologists, data scientists and product managers. I've lead the discovery process, product marketing interviews and third party negotiations for improved functionality.  Previously in my career,  I worked directly in sync representing composers, and also in house at VCCP and Spark44.
