Commitment to the audiovisual industry in Spain

A graduate in Political Sciences, in June 2013, he was appointed by President Barack Obama as the US ambassador to Spain and Andorra, a post he occupied until January 2017. His deep connection with Spain and commitment to the film and television production sector led a number of top US studios to shoot in Spain, including the filming in Andalusia in 2014 of Game of Thrones, the hugely successful HBO production. The role he played in establishing relations and synergies between the Spanish and US industries was recognized after he stepped down from diplomacy and was named Honorary Ambassador of the Spanish Film Commission. In this role, he continued to promote opportunities in the sector, encouraging studios from the United States to continue their investment in Spain, positioning the country as a leading hub worldwide in the production of international audiovisual content.
