Mark Galvin

Mark Galvin is a producer, an executive, a team builder and a leader with more than 25 years of experience in the technology, entertainment and education fields. He has managed three technology-based entertainment companies, supervised and grown teams from 3 to over 350 and has run projects and operations in 14 countries. Galvin is well versed in the kinds of issues and opportunities that small to medium sized projects and businesses confront as they transition in growth; begin acquisitions, move from traditional to digital technologies or work internationally to better serve their customers and the shareholders bottom line.  While a majority of Galvin’s experience has been in the creation of content for film, television and games, his background includes creating consumer software and educational courseware for the University of California. 
Mark’s career in entertainment began in 1985 and grew from working as a controller in accounting, to post producing for Television and children’s programming and soon Executive Producing visual effects for film and TV and serving as the founding vice-chairperson of the Visual Effects Society. In 1985 Mark joined Dic Animation as an accountant and assistant controller. Several months later Galvin had been promoted and was running all post production operations for the company, overseeing operations and staff in Japan and Korea, while supervising post in his off hours. For the next three seasons Galvin and team produced over 225 half hours of television per year while receiving numerous nominations, two EMMY awards and three Golden Reels. 
In all, Galvin has worked on the production of more than 25 games, 32 feature films; 36 commercials; 24 television series; 10 Movies of the week or Mini-series; 12 large format and special venue ride films, 25 Games; on-line education courseware, proprietary software development and more.
Galvin’s experiences include working with Studios, Networks, Governments, Engineers, PhD's, technical crafts, supervisors and artists.  He has become a specialist in team building, process management and the merging of content and technology across platforms, across borders and across oceans. The greatest benefit of all of this, Galvin says, has been developing the ability to deliver on time and on budget, and appreciation of the fact the non-delivery is not an option.  His working titles and credits include seven EMMY Award Winning Television programs, three Golden Reel Award winning TV shows, 4 CLIO Award winning commercials, 4 Academy Award nominated and one Oscar winning film that include: “Total Recall,” “the Mask,” “Crimson Tide”, “The Crow,” “Robin Hood: Price of Thieves,” “The Three Musketeers,” “JAG,” “Moses” “Earth 2”, “The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius” and many more.
In 2002 Galvin joined Electronic Arts Los Angeles as the second ever Development Director for EALA. Focused on delivering console games for the next 3 years, Galvin and team built two different titles for the Medal Of Honor franchise on XBOX, PS2 and NGC in 7 languages. During his tenure with EA, Galvin refined processes to make content development more effective, accountable and reliable while raising the quality of the visuals, and empowering artists and developers with greater creative input throughout the development cycle. These process and pipelines include the creation of Visual Guidelines and targeting pieces; standardized process documentation and visual reference guides; art direction and art authoring techniques, Media technical guides, Visual Style Guides and more.
Joining Win Win Gaming, a Las Vegas NV based start up in 2005, Mark added Mobile phone, cross platform gaming, WiMax deployment, Wireless lotteries and on-line lobby hosting to his list of experience. As Win Win’s Executive Vice President and COO, Mark brought his experience in game production and off shore project management to the new acquisitions of the parent company in China, Korea and England.  While at Win Win Galvin ran all production operations, expanding productions for the ESPN “X Games” suite of games to Korea and developed a Mobile Phone porting facility in China. After completing over 10 years in games Mark and team had created content for Consoles, PC’s Mobile devices and handhelds. A process and project management innovator, Galvin has the rare ability to analyze and create systems infrastructures that nurture growth, create accountability and promote team work within competitive and creative goal setting environments.  Credits include.
