About
I’m Ana Gabriela Mathias, an executive bridging creative music supervision with rights-managed, financeable outcomes. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked across labels and publishers, investment, and artist/brand ecosystems—building teams and processes that turn songs and rights into reliable commercial assets for film, TV, streaming, and branded content.
I lead rights clearance, royalty and audiovisual finance, and licensing governance (including Brazil’s LGPD) with a hands-on approach. Whether I’m selecting and clearing music for productions (including Netflix and Red Bull projects), modeling catalog and distribution deals, or negotiating DSP licensing terms and structured agreements, my focus is always the same: protect the creative intent while making the business work.
