YOU ALREADY KNOW HIS WORK.

A distinguished Entertainment industry veteran and former Vice President of Creative, Corporate at Walt Disney Studios, Brian Rawlings’ seminal body of work continues to touch the hearts of millions of people, while his business acumen and acute instinct have generated more revenue in one year than most companies make in a lifetime.

During his 17-year tenure of leadership at Disney, Brian served as a creative pioneer, leading an array of over 40 feature films, animated movies, and television programs; 22 number one records; and over 30 Platinum, Gold, and GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING projects, while also guiding many aspects of theme park development.

Brian’s celebrated accomplishments have become part of the everyday lives of generations of families around the world with feature film and television franchises from Hannah Montana, The Cheetah Girls, and pop-culture phenomenon High School Musical to hits by artists as diverse as Uncle Kracker and Reba McEntire.

A creative genius who works across industries, Brian’s expertise also includes Film Studio Real Estate Development, Business Economics and Finance, foreign sub-publishing, HR, large-scale business operations, licensing, Intellectual Property law, and business development.

Whip-smart, grounded, and disarming, he is unafraid to challenge ideas, assumptions, or the status quo because he knows what works — and what doesn’t.

Today, Brian is a cornerstone of our company’s brain trust, serving as a consultant, trusted advisor, and catalyst for new ventures, high-profile entertainment personalities and corporations, startups, and large-cap projects. He also serves as Adjunct Professor at SAE Institute, and remains a respected figure among the elite alumni of Belmont University.
