“I enjoyed the pleasure of working with Marilyn McFadyen during the production of the Australian episodes for the BBC Worldwide, CNA Singapore and CMMN China business reality program, “Sun Tzu – War On Business”. As Senior Director for the series, Marilyn was exceptionally dynamic in both her vision for the program and her focus to achieve optimum results.
Working with the many diverse production needs and pressures, Marilyn demonstrated a highly effective process in her methodical approach and excellent attention to detail to get the result. Marilyn also possesses a very special blend of charisma and elevated insights which made the whole working experience positive and highly productive. Having now returned to her native New Zealand, I wish Marilyn all the very best as she is one industry professional I would dearly love to work with again. I highly value and recommend her!
