Bio
Joe Revill
Luan has a wide array of qualities that would be a real asset to any company fortunate to have her. Her organisational skills are in a league of their own, she has excellent leadership credentials and a finely tuned commercial acumen with a talent for effortlessly engaging customers to drive business forward. Moreover she has proved a patient mentor and wise consul to me and many other members of the business. If all these attributes were not enough, her sense of humour will bring a smile to her colleagues during good times and bad. I would be delighted to recommend her.
Nick Eddison
Luan originally worked with ESE as Foriegn Rights Manager and more recently as Rights Director. As a result she has gained a complete overview of the international co-edition market, working with clients direct and managing agencies as appropiate. She is a pleasure to work with, is a self starter and importantly pays attention to detail. Nick Eddison
