So at ITV I'm the director of web solutions delivery for online and on-demand, which means I look after everything that gets a web page on the web - that includes quality assurance, product management, visual design, user experience, front end development and a couple of other nik-naks here and there.

Well, I started as a graphic designer in New York around 1994 which is the same time the web went commercial and a friend told me he was making money on the web and I should probably give it a go and I did. Fast-forward two years later and I'm living in California working for Yahoo and then they decided they wanted to move me overseas so I came to London, took a career break for a year and before I started at ITV I was consulting. ITV is a really dynamic place to work and it's a great place to be right now - ITV's all about transformation and I love transformation projects and for somebody like me, who loves the web, ITV has a long way to go and I'm really excited to help us get there.

I'm a finance analyst at ITV, I work within broadcast, specifically within commercial sales, which is the area responsible for basically selling advertising that you watch on TV. I help support the business by providing them with financial information on their budgets, I give them information on specific advertising should they need it and basically just help them with any finance related queries that they have as well. I'm only one part of finance in the sense that there's other finance teams dotted across ITV, so there's the finance team with in studios and there's a finance team based in Manchester as well who do all the accounts payable and account receivable function. Prior to joining ITV I didn't have any media experience, I trained at a large accountancy firm for 4 years where I did my accounting qualification and I practiced in auditing so I went out and audited different companies and then I wanted to get some experience within a business and sort of applied for different companies and thought ITV would give me the best all round experience of just being within a company.
