Two digital entertainment superstars join MSM's Advisory Board

Message from Dion Sullivan, Managing Director & CEO

I'm delighted to announce that the MSM Advisory Board has two new members: Pandora Co-Founder Jon Kraft and former Electronic Arts and Zynga executive Jennifer Herman. They join an already strong Advisory Board consisting of John Baldecchi, an accomplished TV and film producer, and Michael Pole, a studio executive with over 25 years’ experience managing the development of hit video games.
