Leveling the Playing Field

Build the operational infrastructure and metadata architecture to protect your rights and capture all revenue. No "black boxes." No lost data. Just precision.

From Metadata Chaos to Revenue Integrity

For over 20 years, I’ve operated where music, data, and technology converge. Having overseen a $17 million portfolio of music tech and data projects, I’ve seen firsthand how easily revenue disappears into the ‘black boxes’ of poor infrastructure.

Equalizer Consulting was founded to solve that problem. I bridge the gap between creative vision and operational precision, building the metadata systems and rights strategies that ensure every cent of your work is protected and paid.

Whether you are a corporate entity auditing a legacy catalog or a founder scaling the next big platform, I provide the executive-level oversight to ensure your business is built to secure your intellectual property.

    Natalie has a very rare skill for being able to see hidden gems in projects & discussions and getting the right people together to explore and develop further - this has been a huge benefit to Warner and led to significant revenue as well as enhancing global strategies.

  • Even with the incredible reputation that I had come to know of her from previous colleagues throughout the industry, it honestly doesn't even do her justice.

    Her critical thinking skills, pragmatic and methodical approach, understanding of technical terminology and skills, as well as being infinitely adaptable, flexible and innovative, makes her an obvious choice for any high level data-driven operations or strategy role in ANY industry.

    Dane E.

  • Natalie has an excellent knowledge and understanding of complex system requirements.

    She has a knack for imparting that knowledge onto others by creating a dialogue-driven environment in which those around her feel at ease and encouraged to ask questions and contribute meaningful feedback. She is a true pleasure to work with.
