Novak, who has held senior management positions at Galoob, Mattel and Coleco, assumes this position effective immediately at the award winning computer animation studio. Additionally, Ian Pearson, Mainframe's former C.E.O. will assume the newly created position of Chief Creative Officer.
In his new role, Novak will provide strategic direction to the Company as well as oversee all business and operational aspects of Mainframe.
"Lou has contributed greatly to the rapid growth and achievements of several leading companies," Pearson said. "His years of experience, coupled with his outstanding leadership capabilities and strong business sense make him ideally suited to propel Mainframe to the next level of success. By creating this new management position, it will free me up to work more on the creative side of business. Creating unique and cutting edge animation has always been my first love and I will now have more time to devote to the creative process."
Said Novak, "I am very excited to be joining one of the entertainment industries leading organizations in computer animation. I plan to work with Mainframe's experienced creative team to develop and market new properties, as well as pioneer new techniques in computer animation. These efforts, in conjunction with a new aggressive effort to move into the licensing and merchandising arena with a newly created consumer products division, will launch Mainframe to a new level of prosperity."

While at Mattel, Inc., he served as Senior Vice President, Planning and played a major role in the restructuring and refinancing activities that resulted in the company's redirecting its focus to its core toy business and eventually returning to profitability.
