Olivia Hirschberg moved from agency-side to production-side and spent a year in Chile as a service producer, long before she founded Johnny Foreigner - a company that matches directors to projects.

This week's Foundation Stories features Olivia Hirschberg, the no-nonsense founder of Johnny Foreigner, in conversation with Jason Stone. Olivia describes the journey that had her deciding she wanted a company called Johnny Foreigner, before she'd decided what it should be, or what it should do, and how she has made it a success, while achieving an agreeable life-work balance.

Who's a jolly Johnny Foreigner?

Olivia's story is replete with those who've helped her along the way including Karen Cunningham, Laura Gregory, Steve Davies and many, many more.
