Jeffrey Friedman, COO for RedBarre, is an exceptionally talented operations executive with more than 30 years of industry experience. Jeff has mastered almost every position in television production. He started as a PA and became a recognized editor, camera operator, engineer, producer, and eventually an Emmy nominated director. This background provides Jeff with the uncanny ability to orchestrate every step in production to deliver exceptional technical results.

Even as a freelancer, Jeff earned a stellar reputation as a consummate professional. Television networks worldwide contacted him for onsite consultations. He established lifelong relationships with many international and domestic broadcast and production company decision makers, which ultimately led to executive-level positions with major broadcast companies. Jeff has been a Vice President of production, network operations, technical operations and facilities for more than 10 years.

During one of his early career assignments, Jeff met his future partner and CEO of RedBarre, Don Levy. They were coworkers at a production company: Jeff was a director and Don was an editor. The two came to develop a close personal and professional friendship, building a trust and collaboration that continues to this day.

Jeff has always lived by the adage, “Television is the illusion of perfection.” This mantra forms the core of his leadership/management acumen and ensures that clients and audiences are insulated from production and process issues. He is known for inspiring large union and non-union teams to produce outstanding productions. In fact, Jeff has never missed an airdate or show date in his entire working career.

In his role as EVP of Studio Operations at RedBarre, Jeff is dedicated to delivering the same expertise and operational excellence to RedBarre clients that he has provided to television networks. He brings a wealth of executive production knowledge, deep industry contacts, and motivational leadership.
