Named President of HBO Home Entertainment in 1995, McGee oversaw the release of numerous multi-million selling releases including The Sopranos, Sex and the City, Band of Brothers and Game of Thrones. With the launch of offices in London and Toronto, he drove the expansion of the company’s international business and HBO’s titles are now distributed in more than 70 countries around the globe.
