Dvorkin has over 15 years of experience working closely with media and entertainment organizations to help them bring their content to multilingual audiences, including an 11+ year stint heading global sales at SDI Media in New York, London, and Los Angeles. Dvorkin and his team oversaw key client relationships for SDI Media's portfolio, which includes 20^th Century Fox, Hasbro, HBO, Lego, Paramount, and Warner Bros.
