Experience Era
As Senior Director, Corporate Development & Strategic Intelligence at National Amusements — reporting directly to Shari Redstone — co-chaired the Innovation Committee.
Pioneered holographic installations, cinema livestreams, and location-based VR years before industry-wide adoption, working at the intersection of exhibition, technology, and audience experience for one of media's most consequential family-controlled companies.
Kevin began consulting for National Amusements in 2006 and was officially hired in January 2008, rising to Senior Director of Corporate Development & Strategic Intelligence — reporting directly to Shari Redstone and co-chairing the company's Innovation Committee through a stretch when the theatrical exhibition business was under more structural pressure than at almost any point in its history.
The work in this era centered on finding new reasons for audiences to walk into a physical theater: holographic installations on the exhibition floor, a Coca-Cola × League of Legends cinema livestream event in the UK, an early relationship with Superleague Gaming, and location-based VR activations — each one arriving years ahead of when the broader exhibition industry began treating esports and interactive experience as a legitimate part of the business.
Kevin appeared alongside Shari Redstone at a Beverly Hilton speaking engagement during this period, and worked in proximity to the Redstone family more broadly — including Brandon Korff, in the context of an Electric Daisy Carnival Experience documentary. The Experience Era closed in April 2020, when Kevin was laid off amid the pandemic-driven contraction across theatrical exhibition — the same disruption that, within a few years, pushed the next era's convergence into view.
