About fratteaux

I am a senior television executive with a breadth and depth of Hollywood and international relationships, strong business and creative skills, and a passionate interest in telling great stories with broad appeal that spark the imagination. I am currently running scripted series at History, where I oversaw all aspects of award-winning shows like VIKINGS and PROJECT BLUE BOOK.  In addition to this experience as a network buyer, I have run a department at an international studio, flourished as an entrepreneurial producer and consultant, and helped grow several production companies from start-up to success. I have special interests in international business models and genre programming but love the constantly changing medium of TV and am open to interesting opportunities, here in L.A. or elsewhere.
