FOUNDER & PRESIDENT

Stuart has worked in news, documentaries, reality TV, and, for the past 6 years, in podcasts. He's most proud of growing "Dragons' Den" and "Shark Tank" into household names.

But the best prize ever is working with the amazing people at Antica - and basking in their reflected glory.
