"Jim has long been an integral part of the extraordinary growth and success of Warner Home Video, helping build the division to what it is today-the overall industry leader with 21% of the U.S. home video market and an unmatched presence in some 80 territories throughout the world," said Meyer.

He joined the division in 1983 as Director, Planning & Administration and was subsequently promoted to Vice President, Worldwide Operations and then Executive Vice President, North America. Cardwell came to the company in 1977 working in the audit department at Warner Communications in London. He relocated to the U.S. in 1979 as Warner Communications' Corporate Audit Manager. Prior to that, he worked at the accounting firm Coopers & Lybrand in the U.K. and East Africa. Cardwell holds a master's degree in economics from the University of Manchester and is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
With operations in some 80 territories -- more than any other studio's home video operations -- Warner Home Video commands the largest distribution infrastructure in the global video marketplace.
