James Gardner

James started his career more than 15 years ago as a subtitler for Channel Four Teletext provider Intelfax in London. He helped develop live closed-captioning services for GMTV. He then oversaw IMS’s first multilingual broadcast projects (for MTV Europe) as Translation Manager.

James then worked as Operations Manager at the European Captioning Institute, creating up to 32 language versions of DVD titles.

At SDI Media, James dealt with clients such as Viasat, Disney, UPC and Paramount Pictures in dubbing and subtitling. Since returning to IMS in 2004, James has managed major changes in the live captioning unit and closed a recent deal with SwissTXT for three-language closed-captioning services. James speaks French and Spanish.
