about the speaker

Jane is a founding partner of Work Editorial with offices in London, New York and Los Angeles. Upon graduating with a BA (hons) degree in Fine Art Film from St Martins in London she then went on to have various jobs in tv production in the UK. With a love for editing she became an Assistant Editor at Whitehouse Post in London. After a few years she moved into production and eventually became the EP of the Whitehouse Post London office.

In 2006, along with editors Rich Orrick, Bill Smedley and Neil Smith opened the edit company WORK. They had a very simple vision: to found an egalitarian boutique edit house focused on talent and creativity. From the outset they were determined to do things differently. All partners were equal and edit fees were shared amongst all four creating a very special foundation that has made the business what it is, encouraging a shared commitment to doing great work.

In 2012 she went on to open WORK in New York and then after moving to the US in 2015, went on to open an LA office. Now joined by US partners Stewart Reeves and Ben Jordan. Creative Partners Niles Howard and Trish Fuller, MD’s in NY and LA, Erica Thompson and Marlo Baird and UK Partners Art Jones and Mark Edinoff.

Jane, along with her other WORK partners, continue to concentrate on craft and doing the best work possible. Now with 29 editors across the three officers and half of those coming up from runners and assistants, WORK continues to be at the forefront of creativity.
