At Technicolor, she oversaw the business development for episodic animation and video games, growing the global games team to nearly 500 artists, and working with clients such as DreamWorks Animation, Nickelodeon, Disney TV Animation, Electronic Arts, Activision, Ubisoft, 2K and Warner Bros. Games. Prior to her business development roles, Scanlan spent 15+ years working in the development and production of live-action movies, longform animated content and location-based entertainment for brands like LEGO.

She is a former Co-President of WOMEN IN ANIMATION, as well as a member of the PRODUCERS GUILD OF AMERICA and ASIFA HOLLYWOOD.

Her remit at Saffronic will be to grow both the animation and games businesses. “I am thrilled to be reuniting with many of my past colleagues from Technicolor, after accomplishing so much during our decade of collaboration, to embark on this new adventure with Saffronic,” said Scanlan.

Tim Sarnoff, co-founder of Saffronic, said, “Kristy brings her clear eyed business acumen and trusted relationships to the stellar team that has been assembled at Saffronic. I look forward to seeing the company expand under her leadership.”

Being one of the largest global animation markets, the event sure was very knowledgeable where we met a lot of industry leaders who are driving trends and change. The takeaway is to create content that is adapting to include teaching and entertaining parents as well as modeling parent/children interactions and conversations. We are looking forward to more such industry talks and learnings at the upcoming events.

Also super proud and elated for Prabhakar Sambandan and a few of our Mighty Saffronites for their past contribution to the award winning shows in the Kidscreen Summit 2023.

Saffronic team hosted two awareness skits on the importance of girl children and also engaged them with our art. Our artists drew portraits of these young children, danced and entertained them. Wonderful big smiles from these kids truly blessed our hearts. Looking forward to many such events.

Recently, we hit a memorable milestone of reaching over 200 Artists. Our journey to this milestone has been fueled by innovation, the pursuit of excellence, and the support of our incredible team and clients. But our story doesn’t stop here. With every milestone reached, we set our sights higher, aiming to push the boundaries of imagination further. As we continue to grow, evolve, and inspire, our commitment to our craft remains unwavering. Here’s to continued growth across talent and projects!

For this ambitious goal, we have introduced the ACE session which aims to keep our artists engaged and updated on all the latest trends and software. The ACE session is hosted by our in-house industry experts who love inculcating their experience through knowledge sharing. The pride of these sessions is that it is open to all artists down the floor who can participate in any session even if it is not from their core work industry. An everyday Animation Artist who gives those sassy moves to a character can now learn how the lighting affects the animated character, hosted by an LRC Expert.
