EIKON Group has hired experienced industry executives Adrian McCarten and Sean Romano to its Senior Management team.

McCarten will be taking up a board position as CCO, with Romano joining the Burbank operation as SVP Operations. EIKON are excited to have both Adrian and Sean join the team. Both bring diverse skillsets and knowledge, gained from a combined 25 years of industry knowledge in theatrical servicing.

Established in 2014, EIKON quickly established themselves as a global leader in digital mastering and localisation for the entertainment industry. EIKON’s core offering is mastering, versioning and localisation services for the film, TV and trailer market, including visual effects, subtitling and censorship.

McCarten was former APAC Managing Director at Deluxe, achieving year on year growth throughout his tenure. McCarten worked previously in Film Production and signal transmission across senior positions in the UK and then throughout Australasia on a wide diversity of TV and Film projects, including the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Romano led the global Digital Cinema operations team at Deluxe for 10 years and worked on a wide variety of significant projects across all the major Hollywood studios. Sean oversaw new technology developments as well as all operational activity for Deluxe across the globe working with producers and Hollywood executives to deliver premium theatrical releases.

COO of EIKON, Richard Fish, said: “Adrian and Sean represent passion, knowledge and experience, qualities that have driven EIKON to be a leader in our field. Adrian is incredibly well networked globally and has the drive and commercial understanding to diversify and move EIKON to the next stage of growth. Sean is one of the leading technical and operational experts in the industry and represents everything that is important to EIKON, quality in service, technology and delivery.”

McCarten added: “I’ve known the EIKON founders for well over a decade and have always been impressed by what’s been achieved at EIKON, when the opportunity arose I was keen to join up with such ambitious and driven operators and look forward immensely to helping grow the business and helping the company deliver on their future ambitions.”

Romano added: “I was extremely impressed with the technical excellence and quality in both people, facility and operation, what has been achieved at EIKON over 7 years is amazing. Their reputation proceeds them in the industry, and I look forward to further enhancing EIKON’s customer’s trust by delivering continued excellence.”
