Jean-Claude is an absolutely top class executive producer/series producer. He is a tremendous team leader, he knows what a story is, what can go wrong in productions and how to put them right. He has mastered a wide range of subjects and genres, from highly constructed, dramatised films to observational, presenter-led and archive-based history shows. He has tackled subjects as varied as Colombian drug barons, World War 2, ancient civilisations and religion. JC is terrific at managing a budget, knowing how to make cuts to a proposed filming and post-production schedule when necessary while at the same time ensuring that the money goes to where it is most needed. He is calm under fire and can handle the most awkward channel executives and team members with tact and resilience. He is always open to suggestion but knows when to stand his ground and how to push back without causing offence. He has strong creative ideas to which teams invariably respond. Critically, when there is a major difficulty, he is very happy to roll up his sleeves and get stuck to sort it out. Finally, he is also a pleasure to work with, and a good and supportive colleague.
