Peace Arch has the depth of management, capital and expertise to drive the production, acquisition, and distribution of world class content creating considerable assets that can be leveraged for long-term growth and, ultimately, shareholder value.”  

“Jeff is among the most respected executives in the entertainment industry and has long been a supporter and believer in Peace Arch,” said Gary Howsam, Chief Executive Officer of Peace Arch Entertainment. “His dynamism combined with more than 30 successful years with senior positions in both the television and motion picture industries make him a real force. His invaluable experience will make him a powerful voice on our Board of Directors. We look forward to his leadership during this period of growth at Peace Arch.”
