The Entertainment Services division of storage and information management services specialist Iron Mountain Incorporated has named Greg Parkin as Director of Digital Solutions for Entertainment Services, responsible for the company’s studio operations in LA, New York, Nashville and Boyers, Pennsylvania.
Parkin joins Iron Mountain from Capitol Studios, where he held leadership positions in sales, marketing and operations. In 2007, he was asked to lead studio, mastering and archiving operations for EMI North America as VP of Studios & Archives. During this time, he oversaw a complete overhaul of the famed Capitol Studio A. Leading a team of 30 engineers and executives, he built out writer rooms for EMI Publishing and redefined the high-resolution capture process for the EMI Archive; he also delivered a brand and experiential overhaul of the studio offerings, including business and consumer offerings. He began his career in the music industry in 1991 as a drummer in the burgeoning ska music scene of Orange County and went on to produce and record several projects and manage tours throughout the US and UK. Parkin has served on several advisory boards, including the LA Recording School and LA Film School.
‘Greg has a rich history in the music industry, including as a musician, engineer, archivist and senior leader within the entertainment business,’ says Iron Mountain Entertainment Services VP, Jeff Anthony. ‘Our clients rely on us to have both the right technology and services and the right expertise to help them with their needs. We’ve built our reputation in the industry as a trusted partner and guardian for our customers, helping them preserve their most precious assets while also ensuring they get the most value from them.
