Open Swim is thrilled to welcome the company’s new director of sales Kathryn Lotis. No stranger to the Open Swim team, Kathryn has previously worked with EP Amyliz Pera and director/editor Bradley J. Ross on numerous projects. Having begun her career in the performing arts, Kathryn’s diverse portfolio spans acting, singing, and teaching, showcasing her as a multifaceted talent.
“Reconnecting with Kathryn has been an absolute joy,” shared Amyliz. “We love that she’s multi-talented, which fits so nicely with our mission to celebrate and utilise the diverse skills and passions in our circle.” “Kathryn is one of my favourite people and has an energy that lights up a room,” added Bradley. “I vividly recall belting out Nick Lachey tunes with her in our old production office two decades ago when I first arrived in the city. She totally embodies the Open Swim team spirit. Two years ago, she even had a cameo in one of our commercials that left our clients rolling with laughter.”

A graduate of Hofstra University and a New York native, Kathryn began her career in the performing arts industry with a keen interest in learning all aspects of the business. Noteworthy among her accomplishments are her voiceover contributions to projects for ABC and MTV, along with her presence on the red carpet, interviewing celebrities at prestigious events like the Daytime Emmys. Kathryn also made waves in radio sales for WPLJ and in her role representing directors for TV commercial work at Twist, where she originally met Bradley and Amyliz of Open Swim.
“When the chance arises to collaborate once more with individuals who are not only creative and talented but also remarkable human beings, the answer is an immediate ‘Yes!’ expressed Kathryn. “I consider myself fortunate to be a part of the team alongside Bradley and Amyliz at Open Swim and am truly thrilled to be associated with friends who I deeply admire and respect.”
