ABOUT
Salvatore Oppedisano
Ideas are Easy. Successful Execution is Difficult.
I am a focused, can–do, results-driven, fun-loving, tough-minded, big-hearted, financially practical creative Executive Producer/Director. With years of experience collaborating with and marshaling creative teams and resources to produce complex national and international projects from concept through post-production on budget, including budgeting and scheduling for live-action, tabletop, broadcast TV, graphics, and animation for the most prominent global and demanding multinational corporations.
I was gifted with uncommonly sound common sense. I can see an idea's beauty, potential, budget limitations, risks, and negotiating skills needed to bring it to fruition—a natural and learned skill based on years of experience making mistakes.
I am an excellent collaborator in growing a business and seeing the big picture, managing finances, client engagement, and logistics—a clear communicator who remains calm under pressure in a fast-paced, high-stakes creative environment.
Key Traits I Bring to an Organization:
-
First is passion and curiosity with a deep sense of engagement with the world, technology, and people.
-
Second is battle-hardened confidence with a track record of perseverance in facing adversity, knowing what the team and I can achieve.
-
Third is team smarts, the organizational equivalent of street smarts. I have an excellent antenna and a sense of bringing people together to achieve challenging projects.
-
Fourth is a simple mindset: my ability to distill a lot of information into the one, two, or three things that matter most.
-
Fifth is fearlessness, a bias towards action, not recklessness to take calculated risks while looking for areas of improvement.
A significant part of my responsibilities and contribution within the team is not to have all the answers but to listen, have great questions, and strategically assemble the right people and resources to simplify the execution of complex creative ideas.
