NBCUniversal Veteran Chris Lucarz Joins RWS Global as Chief Financial Officer

RWS Global, the world’s largest producer of live experiences, has hired former NBCUniversal executive Chris Lucarz as chief financial officer.

In his new role, Lucarz will oversee all financial and administration aspects of the company, including finance, HR and legal departments. He will collaborate closely with the executive team to develop and execute financial strategies aligned with RWS Global’s long-term objectives.

“We are thrilled to welcome Chris Lucarz as our CFO. His extensive experience in production operations and his financial expertise are essential as we continue to expand and innovate in the live entertainment and experiential industry,” RWS Global’s Founder and CEO, Ryan Stana said in a statement. “We are confident that Chris will play a pivotal role in shaping our financial strategies and contributing to our overall success.”

Lucarz joins RWS Global with more than 20 years of experience in various leadership roles at General Electric, NBCU and Rockefeller Center Operations. In those positions, he oversaw live production environments for shows such as “Today,” “Saturday Night Live,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” MSNBC, CNBC and Telemundo. He also held various operational finance roles at NBCUniversal, where he supported the studios, control rooms and facilities.

“I am honored to join a company with such a strong reputation for creativity and innovation in the world of live entertainment and experiential design,” Lucarz said. “I look forward to contributing to the company’s financial success and supporting its growth and development.”

Lucarz’ appointment comes two months after Bluestone Equity Partners, the global sports, media and entertainment private equity firm, announced a minority investment in RWS Global.

Headquartered in New York City, London and Cincinnati, RWS Global provides design, technical, casting and operation services for live events, exhibits and brand attractions. It has worked with a wide range of brands and companies, including Apple, Coca-Cola, Crayola, The “Friends” Experience, Warner Bros and Disney’s “The Lion King” on Broadway.
