While at WBCP, Globe has helmed some of the most influential licensing initiatives in global themed entertainment, including the one-of-a-kind theme park experience, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort (with additional venues announced for Hollywood and Osaka, Japan), and the state-of-the-art touring exhibition, Harry Potter: The Exhibition, featuring set pieces and artifacts from the Warner Bros. films based on J.K.

Globe is known for successful collaborations with filmmakers, strong retail relationships and strategic partnerships with licensees and corporate marketers.
