About Mike Khatcheressian

I'm an Emmy-winning producer, director, and editor with more than 20 years of experience leading media teams and delivering high-impact video at every scale. My expertise isn't just in making great content — it's in building the infrastructure, the workflows, and the teams that make great content possible, consistently, year after year. Throughout my career I've had the opportunity to build production studios and content departments from scratch multiple times. I know how to assess what an organization needs, recruit and develop the right talent, establish the right processes, and start producing at a high level quickly — all while managing budgets ranging from small project funds to over a million dollars.

A CAREER BUILT ON BUILDING THINGS

Early in my career, I moved from series producer to department head — learning to lead teams of varying sizes and experience levels, from 30-year veterans to first-year producers. That experience taught me how to identify and leverage what each person does best, align different personalities around a shared goal, and elevate the quality and efficiency of the whole operation. Later, I built a state-of-the-art broadcast studio from the ground up while maintaining a full production output. I did it by assembling a flexible extended team — a core staff supported by a national network of trusted freelancers, combined with writers, designers, and marketing talent recruited from across the organization. The result: a lean, high-performing unit capable of producing award-winning content at scale. That model — building distributed, high-functioning teams around a clear creative vision — is something I've refined and repeated. It's what I bring to every leadership role.
