History

Diplomatic Productions

Davies' first production company, Diplomatic Productions (or just Diplomatic), was founded on December 12, 2000 with the help of ABC and Disney.[1] Davies was originally a senior vice president for Buena Vista Productions, who later joined ABC in February 1998 as executive vice president.[2]

Embassy Row

On May 12, 2005, Davies joined forces with entertainment marketer Tera Banks and LivePlanet co-founder and former CEO Chris Moore to form a new company, Embassy Row. Diplomatic was immediately folded into the new company in the process.

In January 2009, Embassy Row was acquired by SPT, the two having signed a partnership deal three years prior in January 2006.[3][4][5]
