Giant Worldwide

Welcoming our new VP of Business Development, Craig Bilsky!   Bolstering our sales efforts, Craig will lead new client initiatives out of our Burbank facility as Giant continues to amplify its reach throughout the industry. His expertise in digital workflows will be integral to our ongoing expansion into a wider range of service offerings, including Packaging & Delivery, Master QC, App & Platform Testing, and Localization. Craig brings with him over two decades of experience in client facing senior leadership roles within the media and technology sectors at companies like ADS, Deluxe, and more, working with studio and independent clients.   Craig’s passion for progress extends beyond work, as he has been involved with the St. Baldrick’s Organization for nearly 22 years, shaving his head in support of their mission to fund research for childhood cancer cures.   “Giant Worldwide’s commitment to innovation and client success aligns perfectly with my approach to meeting individual client needs. I’m excited to join Giant and help advance their ventures into new service lines across a larger client list.” – Craig Bilsky   “I’m thrilled to have Craig join our team and to begin collaborating on creative strategies, offering our expanded service lines to clients both current and prospective.” – Meri Hassouni, SVP of Global Business Development and Client Services

Last week, our SVP Global Business Development and Client Services, Meri Hassouni, hosted a tour of the Academy Museum for DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group’s Canon Club followed by a lunch at Fanny’s. Thank you to all who attended and to the DEG for collaborating on such a valuable event.
