Licensing for Generative AIWork
What do the largest companies in the world do when they need to train large language models with licensed media?
They come to the largest repository of photos, videos, audio, and 3D assets in the world: ShutterStock.com. They work with my global team on securing ongoing licensing deals to ensure proper training, ongoing model usage, and proper controls for AI systems.
I work with startups to publicly traded companies on generative AI licensing deals to ensure models are using the right data.
Making it
I started inside the newsroom, building digital product at Rolling Stone, producing at Fast Company, then leading global partnerships at Reuters and news partnerships at Meta.

Generative AI turned media into training data. At Shutterstock I structure the licensing deals behind properly trained models.
