Global producer network Makers has appointed Diane Jackson as its new vice-president of global production – a newly-created role.
Jackson joins Makers from US tech giant Meta, where she worked as director, global head of production, creative and experiential. Having built up considerable media experience, Jackson previously spent 14 years at creative agency DDB where she was chief production officer.
In her new role, Jackson will work alongside Makers’ founder Sumit Ajwani and managing partner Paul Curtin; tasked with driving growth and expanding the company’s differentiated offering, Jackson will also look to evolve its culture of collaboration, and contribute to its vision of elevating the role of producers.

“Diane is a force, someone who fearlessly breaks barriers and pushes the boundaries of what producers can accomplish. She’s a champion of ideas and of production being a genuine partner to creativity. Impact is what drives Diane, making her the right partner to help take our mission to the next level,” Ajwani said.
Jackson herself added: “I’ve dedicated my career to being a producer and enabling others in their pursuit of this path. To join a company that is grounded in elevating and championing producers as creative problem solvers is the culmination of all my work leading up to this point.”
“I was looking for a growth opportunity that would allow me to do something different. When I met Sumit and the team, there was an immediate connection to the Makers vision and their producer-led model. I’m reinvigorated.”
