Area of Expertise:
Your Customers - ​Their Journey, Empathy ​& Storytelling, Ideation ​& Innovation, To Market - ​The New Business Plan
Tom brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the benefit of his customers, gained through progressively-senior positions in the Cinema industry spanning almost three decades, during which time he planned and implemented a host of technology products and services. Whether in the exhibitor world, where he began his career with Edwards Cinemas or on the supplier side with Christie Digital Systems, culminating in his most recent role there as Senior Director, Global Managed Services, Tom’s ‘best practices’ approach has paid off for customers.

For Tom, best practices center on engaging customers with strong communication skills that produce clarity around needs, expectations and results – maintained by constant follow-up and follow-through during execution. Significantly, his mindset and passion allowed him to successfully lead a global team of just under 200 professionals at Christie throughout the digital-cinema and immersive-audio rollouts, which characterized the industry’s growth.

As a Founding Partner at Transformation Entertainment Group (TEG), Tom’s penchant for enabling his customers’ future success is an important asset, given his experience in defining strategy, implementing critical corporate programs and managing multi-million-dollar budgets and contracts to achieve the end-goals. Team building, technology solutions and support, process creation and associated metrics, and overall organizational development are all areas where Tom has great experience and the ability to contribute to TEG’s customers’ business needs.
