Hi, I’m Bobbie Lee McClain.
As a 20-year Navy Veteran, I’ve honed the vital skills of adaptability, resilience, and maintaining composure under pressure. My naval career enabled me to traverse the globe, collaborating with diverse individuals from various backgrounds. This experience has been instrumental in developing my keen communication skills, recognizing that different perspectives and understandings are crucial in effective leadership.
In the Navy, I learned the significance of each individual's role is the success of a larger mission. Understanding that a single lapse can impact the collective objective, I take a proactive approach to leadership. My focus is on ensuring that each team member is equipped to fulfill their responsibilities effectively and punctually.
Now, as a Producer and Production Company Manager, I apply these principles to ensure seamless project execution. By astutely delegating tasks, I guarantee that every project is handled by the most suitable team members, ensuring the highest standards of quality and efficiency.
My Company’s mission statement, objectives, and core values are at the heart of our operations. We strive to create an inclusive environment where respect and fairness are paramount. We place the utmost importance on our relationships, valuing each client, from those newly engaging with us to our seasoned customers. Similarly, within our team, we recognize the critical role of everyone, from production assistants taking their first steps in their careers to experienced film industry veterans. This approach underlines our commitment to nurturing growth and valuing expertise at every level. In my company, everyone’s perspectives are valued, with ample opportunities for growth and expression.
