In 1962, Sean Connery famously introduced the world to Ian Fleming’s iconic character with the line, "Bond, James Bond." Over 25 films and 60 years later, EON Productions Ltd., co-founded by Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, continues to helm the longest-running film franchise in history. After Saltzman's departure in 1975, Cubby led the series alone until 1995, when his daughter Barbara Broccoli and stepson Michael G. Wilson took over, marking a major evolution with GoldenEye. Under their leadership, the Bond franchise reached new heights with hits like Casino Royale and Skyfall. EON’s influence extends beyond Bond, with an impressive portfolio of other films and theatrical productions, including The Rhythm Section, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Othello, and others.

David G. Wilson, Michael’s son and a third-generation member of the Broccoli-Wilson family, began working on Bond films as a teen and contributed to 11 feature films, including six Bond movies, and also served as an executive producer for video game adaptations of the franchise. Now, as an investor, advisor and CEO of Shared Experience Art Machine Ltd., David is expanding the family’s legacy by exploring future entertainment mediums and collaborative ventures. His work ensures that the family legacy continues to innovate and evolve, embracing new opportunities in a rapidly changing entertainment landscape.
