Sports in the United States come with their own style and flair, but internationally, fanbases also have their own traditions and passion. International competitions like the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in Paris and the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup and local clubs in countries across the world need someone at the production reins with a stellar live-event background. This is where RWS Global steps in, a company with a reputation for providing unforgettable moments in sports and entertainment and partnerships with leagues like FIFA, FIBA, World Rugby, and a host of others. At the forefront of these efforts is Jake McCoy, who previously served as COO before being named Interim CEO on April 14.
On the latest episode of SVG GameDay, McCoy outlines the company's approach to producing a variety of shows, how they incorporate popular U.S.-based production elements into these global events, how the team adapts to control rooms of all shapes and sizes, how the evolution of in-venue entertainment has changed since the beginning of his career, how his experience with theatrical design at Creighton University sparked his love for live events, and much more.
