Vetted Directors

“Greater Boston-based Director of Photography and camera professional who has led a scrappy, low-budget feature film production end-to-end (often handling lighting setup and camera prep solo) and also shot documentary content on the Vineyard Wind farm. Strong under pressure—describes executing an 8-page day with 30+ actors/extras and minimal preproduction—while staying versatile across Sony/Canon/ARRI cameras, DJI Ronin gimbals, and DJI drones.”

“Operations leader and advisor (former COO at College Partnership; also worked with Founders Advisors) who rebuilds and scales early-stage operations using Lean Startup experimentation and KPI-driven execution. Notably centralized a call-center function, implemented scripts/SLAs/metrics, and iterated staffing based on conversion and response-time data while mentoring non-ops founders on MVPs, SMART goals, and tactical operating plans.”

“Freelance Unity/XR developer with multiple Meta Quest projects (including non-game XR apps) and a 1st-place win at Meta’s Sense AI hackathon in Barcelona for an AI camera-access VR assistant for vehicle repairs. Built a VR Spanish-learning experience solo and has hands-on experience optimizing VR performance (culling, view restriction) and integrating voice recognition for language interactions.”

“Unity VR developer with hands-on experience shipping and optimizing standalone builds for Meta Quest (and PICO). Led gameplay + networking on a Quest 3 multiplayer social VR experience (real-time sync, avatars/gestures, proximity voice), and also built a mostly solo game that blends fast-paced restaurant simulation with a night-time horror/stealth loop featuring custom AI.”

“Talent/Recruiting Operations leader with experience scaling ops across healthcare and veterinary staffing, including managing 27 direct reports and 9 departments. Known for building KPI dashboards and bill-rate analytics to drive territory-level profitability, and for leading major systems changes (Salesforce to Jobvite) that cut time-to-hire from 30 days to 2 weeks while improving onboarding/orientation throughput and revenue capture.”

“Former varsity basketball player (recruited by multiple D2 and some D1 programs; all-tournament at a University of Minnesota camp in 1978) who later coached his three sons through Chicago Bulls Academy and Midwest tournaments. For the past ~25 years he has worked as a baseball pitching instructor, leveraging measurable-based talent evaluation and relationships with 100+ colleges to help athletes navigate recruiting; comfortable scouting in person and online and willing to create on-camera social content for families.”

“Product manager who led the development cycle and UI design for the TIER mobile/web app used by search-and-rescue teams to manage competency checks, training, equipment records, and incident response. Experienced coordinating web and mobile teams to align APIs to cross-platform features, and demonstrates solid understanding of F2P live-ops, event planning, and IAP experimentation/metrics.”
