We look forward to his team’s support on all of MGE’s current and future domestic and international development projects.”

Selected by a panel of senior industry executives, the “Top 25” awardees are high achievers who stand out because of their ability to create cutting-edge marketing programs, triumph in challenging situations and generate measurable gains for leading brands.

Galinsky was also just honorably named part of the Masters Circle by the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) where he will work with leading chief marketing officers on the Brand Experience and Innovation leadership committee. His team, along with leading communications partners, together have won multiple travel and tourism industry awards, as well as advertising, public relations and social media awards since 1999 when George first joined Mohegan.
