Masters of the Universe

 

Frequently leaving their perch high atop vivid's Mt. Olympus to assume mortal form and walk among us, our resident gods and goddesses are a benevolent crew. They oversee the fundamental workings of the company, and provide for us as surely as Apollo will drive his chariot across the sky tomorrow. Shunning the immodesty typical of most immortals, they've all refused to allow us to construct altars in front of their desks (though they are known to accept the occasional sacrificial engineer).


Team roles:

CEO (Chief Executive Officer) (Craig Wingate)
The big kahuna. El Presidente. He Who Charts Our Course. The CEO is the captain of the ship, the visionary who spies land on the horizon while the rest of us are nervously watching for sharks in the immediate vicinity. His two primary responsibilities are driving the strategic vision and growth of vivid and overseeing the rest of the managers in ensuring our smooth and profitable operation.

CCO (Chief Creative Officer) (Nathan Shedroff)
In addition to his responsibilities to the Experience Group, the CCO is the guardian angel and chief contributor to vivid's overall creative process, as well as the liaision between the Experience Group and the Management Group. He tends to vivid's brand and identity much like a master gardener raising heirloom flora.

Senior VP, Business Development (Sarah Cooper)
Forging strategic relationships with clients and overseeing all matters related to new business, the VP of BizDev is our very own fortune-telling watcher of the skies. So enraptured are we with Madame Cooper's amazing powers of prognostication that we've entrusted her to bring in only the most interesting, innovative, and profitable projects.

Senior VP of Engineering ( Dave Mitchellhill)
Practically indistinguishable from a CTO to the untrained eye, the SVPoE is in actuality a chameleon-like creature who has mastered the art of protective camouflage. Sit him down at a conference table and he'll charm corporate clients with his refined manners and technical savoir-faire. But release him in the wilds of the engineering department and he'll transform into the proverbial king of the jungle, prowling about the territory and leading the pack on hunting expeditions to sate their voracious appetites for technology.

Corporate Affairs (Ken Fromm)
At vivid, 'corporate affairs' covers everything from the dirty work of contract negotiation to the decidedly more enjoyable (though not necessarily cleaner) task of playing official company bartender.
