He co-founded Noah in 2015, after his first feature documentary was an official selection for the Cannes Film Festival, and the company now has a slate of critically acclaimed documentaries, working with some of the biggest streamers, broadcasters and production partners in the world.

The company recently raised finance for its first Content Fund and has five global feature documentaries in production for release in 2024/25. It has also financed and built its own audience analytics technology, SlateIQ, using bespoke data to support the decision-making process throughout development, production and distribution.

Noah Media was named Broadcast Sport Production Company of the Year in November 2023.
