Matt Conover has joined RWS Global as Divisional President, Global Production.

This newly established role is designed to strengthen RWS Global’s operational leadership as the company continues to grow across a broad production slate internationally. In this position, Conover will oversee production strategy, planning and company-wide execution, working closely with creative, business and operational teams to support all projects from development through delivery.

Conover brings more than 37 years of experience from The Walt Disney Company and a proven track record of producing large-scale live entertainment experiences. He most recently served as Vice President, Disney Live Entertainment at Disneyland Resort, where he led a team of more than 400 producers, directors, designers, and technical professionals.

“Matt’s expertise offers something uniquely valuable – an understanding of how world-class experiences are maintained over decades, across teams, geographies, and changing audiences,” said Jake McCoy, RWS Global’s Interim CEO.

“As RWS Global continues to expand the scale and complexity of the experiences we deliver, his leadership will help strengthen the systems, processes, and creative collaboration required to grow without compromising the guest experience.”

Conover added: “RWS Global is a major international player in live experiences across parks, sports, theatre, cruise lines, destinations, brand activations, and more.

“After nearly four decades in this industry, it’s clear to me that the team is building a creative and operational powerhouse. Few organisations can deliver at this level of scale across so many sectors of the business. I’m excited to be part of this momentum and to help support the company’s continued growth and success.”
