Gavin Graham

Gavin Graham was most recently the General Manager of DNEG Montréal and Toronto. He spent over 23 years of his 24-year career with DNEG, having also briefly worked for MPC and Cinesite in London. Originally an FX artist, with a background in Computer Science, he has also created tools and worked in development in the area of simulation and rendering. He has FX and CG Supervisor credits on projects such as Stardust, 2012, multiple films in the Harry Potter franchise, and Captain America: The First Avenger.
In 2011 he moved into a management position with DNEG, initially as the London Head of 3D, and then as Global Head of CG, before moving to Montréal to take on complete oversight of the studio in 2019, expanding his remit to include Toronto after successfully opening the studio there in early 2022.
He joined the VES Board of Directors in 2019, took on the role of Secretary for the 2021 term, and previously served as Secretary for 3 years during his 6 year tenure on the London Section Board. He is also the Chair of the Work From Home Committee, an area that he feels very strongly about after successfully implementing a full WFH approach for his studio during the COVID pandemic, and successfully maintaining a flexible hybrid policy in the years following.
