“It’s rare enough to have one individual with these capabilities join a company, let alone two, so we feel particularly fortunate.” said CEO Gary Standard. “They are consummate sales professionals who have built and enriched an array of companies on both coasts and we look forward to the contributions that Richard and Jeffrey will make as members of the WorldStage family.”
“I have been fortunate to work for several good companies in my career,” said Steinau. “But joining WorldStage is like being selected to an all-star team where exceptional is normal. The best-in-class work that they do every day combined with the talented people they attract and retain are the key ingredients that make WorldStage the industry leader.”

“Like a small handful of companies, WorldStage can handle many different types of projects well. But unlike any other company, WorldStage operates at the intersection of ingenuity and technology, offering producers and creative directors the resources to imagine and develop new ideas,” said Jayne. “It’s exciting to be part of that, and it’s invigorating for the audience and the brand.”
