Executive producer and technical director. Emmy winner. I lead film, live, and event production for CBS Sports, Meta, and the NFL, and I build the teams and systems that make it repeatable.

I turn a brief into a plan that holds up against time, budget, and reality, and I push back early when a brief isn't ready.
I set how work gets prioritized, staffed, approved, reviewed, and delivered, so great work is repeatable instead of heroic.
I crew teams around the world. I know when to bring in the best director, studio, or freelancer, and when to build the capability in-house.
Creative leaders and partners get the real state of the work: decisions, trade-offs, and risks, before they become surprises.
When the usual tools can't do the job, I build new ones. For CBS Sports I built custom video technology that shipped on the biggest broadcast of the year.
I've been technical director for live events and livestreams where there is no second take.
I'm an Emmy Award-winning producer who has spent my career where creative ambition meets hard constraints. I've crewed and led production teams across the globe for Fortune 500 companies, sports organizations, and media brands.
At Meta, I developed content and creative strategy for internal communications reaching 70,000 employees, trained teams in virtual production, and produced virtual and in-person events.
For CBS's Super Bowl LV, I led technical direction for remote production of the opening film, which won the 2021 Sports Emmy for Outstanding Opening/Tease.
I'm based in Portland, Oregon, and I'm outside whenever I can be, usually with my wife, our kids, and our dog.
“George pulled through by providing equipment and technical know-how to create a video livestream interview out of nowhere, near instantaneously, onsite.”
“George and his team were punctual, incredibly flexible, and very thorough. They exceeded my expectations each and every time.”
“Story Firm (George Mihaly's team) was a fantastic production company to work with. A streamlined service and a very professional end result, without much oversight.”
