Biography

Glenn Laken

New York born and bred Board Chairman & CEO Glenn Laken has held multiple senior executive positions and created successful growth strategies in the financial services sector over the past 30 years. His expansive professional experience includes working as an advisor to the 22 billion dollar Ameritech Pension fund, partnership in a Wall Street specialist firm, ownership of a Chicago clearing house with offices nationwide, and the purchase and restructuring of the Cigarette Racing Team Company. He has also enjoyed success in the area of mergers and acquisitions as an accomplished business leader.

A Company shareholder since 2010, Mr. Laken organized a shareholder group that created changes in Company management in 2012, after careful analysis revealed that the Company was failing to reach its potential due to mismanagement by the original management team.

Since orchestrating this change, Mr. Laken has worked as Company consultant, introducing Jeffrey Devlin and David Kovacs to the Board, and bringing Ron Burkhardt on as a board member and executive chairman of XA, The Experiential Agency, Inc. (“XA”). He also introduced a new subsidiary, Good Gaming Inc., to the Company's portfolio and arranged the sale of Audio Eye, Inc. stock to fund the elimination of the Company’s bad debt.

Mr. Laken will continue to seek new opportunities to add shareholder value through organic growth of existing assets of CMG and acquisition of undervalued private and public companies. He has always believed in the strength of the underlying assets of CMG, and upon his appointment as Chairman and CEO, stated, “I’m looking forward to growing CMG into a world class company.”
