Christine Law

Chief Financial Officer

Christine Law opened her first consultancy in Ventura, California in 1987 and was soon achieving Award winning success improving strategic and operational systems in Government agencies and Manufacturing businesses. In 2002, Christine incorporated and expanded into Fortune 500 technical transformations. Throughout the 2010s, Christine’s business steadily grew and acquired other businesses – mostly digital media and digital marketing – into a portfolio of seemingly diverse businesses. In 2023, the convergence of Business, AI, Financial, Digital, Sonic and Visual converged into a multidimensional, creative focus. Christine believes creativity is a vital asset, no longer confined to the realm of the arts and has become a strategic imperative for businesses to differentiate themselves, adapt to change, and drive innovation. Christine holds Bachelor of Arts in Business Management and a Master’s degree in Political Science, and when not creating financial foundations for technical creativity, she can be found driving her Razr across the Mojave desert.

Dave Robkin

Program Manager

Dave comes to SCS after a colorful career supporting the seedy underbelly of Hollywood. When heavy things needed lifting, electricity needed connecting, or noises needed making, Dave helped. After a while he taught others how to do these things, then he opened a brewery to help people relax. Dave’s current position with SCS is making sure that the machinery moves smoothly and that everyone gets what they deserve. (That means payroll, scheduling forms and HR compliance, not ominous threats from shadowy figures in smoky speakeasies from black and white movies). In his free time Dave tries to restore vintage motorcycles and rescues Pit Bulls.
