Today we’d like to introduce you to Rosie Ortiz Liz Spano.
Hi Rosie Ortiz, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Liz and I are Executives in Charge in the Entertainment Industry. We started together as Production Assistants over 20 years ago and have been climbing the ladder together ever since. We have worked on documentaries, docu-series, specials, games shows, reality tv, competition shows, music videos, commercials, and streaming platform shows. Over the years, we have traveled worldwide making lasting connections in the Entertainment Industry.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
While we love what we do for a living, it hasn’t always been so easy. We have dealt with working long hours with difficult crew on tight budgets in challenging locations. Sometimes all at once! Because of the demanding schedules, we often missed important events and romantic relationships. There came a time in both our lives where we decided to put ourselves first and created a better life/work balance.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?

Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
We love the energy and creativity of Los Angeles — inspiration is everywhere. LA gave us our careers and shaped who we are today. What we don’t love? The traffic (LOL) and the burnout culture. We’ve experienced that firsthand and learned the hard way how vital self-care and mental wellness truly are. This city can eat you up and spit you out if you’re not careful — you have to fill yourself up before you can fill others.
