MGM Studios executive Tomas Davison passed away Saturday in Miami, at the age of 43.
Davison joined the studio a little over a year ago, where he held the position of Senior Vice President, International Television Distribution Latin America and U.S. Hispanic. Davison made a great impact during his short time at the studio. Among his accomplishments, the native Argentinian opened the studios’ Miami office and expanded sales into Latin America, making lucrative deals with distributors for many of the studios’ hit television series and films.
Prior to joining MGM, Davison was Vice President, Sales for Latin America & Caribbean at Warner Bros. Intl. TV Distribution, where he managed sales of Warner Bros. television series, theatrical motion pictures, animated product and movies across all platforms.
Tomas was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on January 6, 1976 and attended the University of Buenos Aires, majoring in Communications. He moved to The United States in 1998 and made Miami his home.
“Everywhere he went, Tomas made friends. His passion for work and zest for life were contagious; and his love for his family was never-ending. It is with a very heavy heart that we must say goodbye to our dear, sweet Tomas. May you rest in peace,” his family said.
Chris Ottinger, President of MGM Worldwide Television Distribution, added: “Tomas was a wonderful man who was greatly respected by his colleagues and incredibly committed to his career. He prided himself on building and maintaining great relationships with people and took the time to make sure that those who worked with him were constantly learning and growing. This is a great loss to the MGM Family as Tomas was not only a colleague, but a friend. We will all miss him dearly”.
Services will be held for Tomas on Saturday, November 23 at Stanfill Funeral Home (10545 S. Dixie Hwy, Miami, FL 33156) with a viewing from 2PM – 7PM. Additionally, his colleagues honored him at a ceremony during MIP Cancun on the beach behind the Moon Palace Resort.
