Jeffrey Katzenberg (born December 21, 1950) is an American film producer and media proprietor.
He became well known for his tenure as chairman of Walt Disney Pictures from 1984 to 1994, during which the studio reinvigorated its live-action and animation divisions, as well as producing some of its biggest hits, including The Little Mermaid (1989), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Aladdin (1992), and The Lion King (1994). After departing Disney, he became the CEO of DreamWorks Pictures, particularly its animation division where he oversaw the production of several of DreamWorks' modern animated films such as Puss in Boots, Kung Fu Panda, Monsters vs. Aliens and How to Train Your Dragon. He has since founded a new media and technology company called WndrCo and is the founder of Quibi, a short-form mobile video platform.
Katzenberg has also been involved in politics. With his active support of Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren and Barack Obama, he was called "one of Hollywood's premier political kingmakers and one of the Democratic Party's top national fundraisers."
