Jeffrey Katzenberg

Jeffrey Katzenberg (; born December 21, 1950) is an American media proprietor and film producer. He was the chairman of Walt Disney Studios from 1984 to 1994, a position in which he oversaw production and business operations for the company's feature films. After departing Disney, he co-founded DreamWorks SKG in 1994, where he served as the company's CEO and producer of the Oscar winning film ''American Beauty'' and many of its animated franchises including ''Shrek'', ''Madagascar'', ''Kung Fu Panda'', and ''How to Train Your Dragon'' until stepping down from the title in 2016. For the film ''Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron'' (2003), he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, and also received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 2013. He has since founded the venture capital firm WndrCo in 2017, which invests in digital media projects, and launched Quibi in 2020, a defunct short-form mobile video platform which lost US$1.35 billion in seven months.

Katzenberg has also been involved in politics. With his active support of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, he was named "one of Hollywood's premier political kingmakers and one of the Democratic Party's top national fund-raisers". He is a campaign co-chair of Joe Biden's re-election campaign. Provided by Wikipedia
