Lynne Mannino is leaving her position as executive producer of Nomad Edit, New York, to pursue other creative interests and freelance producing. Mannino helped launch and build the N.Y. office of bicoastal Nomad and now exits with full support of the company partners who are currently seeking her successor.
“Being an EP is a full-time job that requires all of my attention. I need more flexibility in my schedule to pursue some key creative projects and it just makes sense for me to go freelance,” explained Mannino. The partners have given me great encouragement to take this next step.”
Editor John Murray, a Nomad co-founder, said of Mannino, “She was instrumental in the opening of our New York office and has built a dynamic and creative work environment. We wish her great success in her new endeavor.”
Mannino came aboard Nomad in 2007 after spending a year on personal projects and travel. Prior to that she served for six years as co-founder/exec producer of editorial house 3 Fingered Louie,, and earlier served as a producer for Mad River Post.
