About
I’m Ricky Kirshner, an Executive Producer and Live Event Strategist with 30+ years of experience delivering high-stakes, large-scale productions—everything from stadium-level spectaculars and global broadcasts to national conventions and major award shows. I’m known for meticulous creative and technical craft, tight budget control, and calm execution even when live pressure is at its highest.
Throughout my career, I’ve led iconic televised moments—over 14 consecutive Super Bowl Halftime Shows and major broadcast events like the Tony Awards—while managing complex stakeholder ecosystems and contingency planning, including major pivots to virtual formats. I’m grateful to have earned recognition including multiple Emmys, a Peabody Award, and an Edward R. Murrow Award, and I bring that same level of excellence to every team, vendor network, and audience experience I build.
