An industry veteran, Vik's experience spans two decades–across the likes of Sony Pictures Entertainment, Technicolor, and Quibi. As EVP Business Development, Jayakumar will be responsible for driving strategic market growth and revenue in North America–cultivating key industry relationships harnessed throughout his career and solidifying FutureWorks presence as a globally renowned visual effects studio.

“I'm pleased to join FutureWorks at such a pivotal moment in its global expansion,” explains Vik. “The demand for high-quality visual effects continues to grow, and I'm excited to leverage my industry experience to strengthen partnerships and drive strategic growth across North America. FutureWorks has a strong reputation for delivering exceptional work, and I'm thrilled to further extend this into the region.”

Vik is our second global hire, alongside Executive Producer Tina Minall. Tina joined us in 2018 to oversee productions for UK and European clients–Jayakumar's role complements this with a dedicated focus on development in North America.

“We're pleased to welcome Vik as our first hire in North America, marking an exciting new chapter for FutureWorks,” comments CEO Gaurav Gupta. “The global demand for visual effects in 2025 is looking strong–having producers locally available in key markets positions us well for collaboration.”
