Is the sentence correct?

Post by tamguatlay »

As the executive producer, that really upset me as I felt that everything we did in the show was for nothing, since she would not be able to win the grand prize anyway. In my anger, I made my sentiments clear so that other contestants, who would be able to join us as a full-time content creator, can have the opportunity.

Is the first sentence correct with regard to the phrase "As the executive director" starting the sentence?

Thanks!

Informally acceptable, but, strictly speaking should be rephrased, e.g. 'As executive director, I was upset....'.
