across its leadership and management teams.
Matthew Berkowitz is leaving his role as Company President and
Chief Creative Officer (CCO), effective May 31, 2024, after
accepting a new opportunity. Mr. Berkowitz's responsibilities for
overseeing the development of new animated and scripted IPs will be
split between Aaron Behl and Kristin Cummings, both SVP, Originals

Jennifer Twiner McCarron, CEO, Atomic Cartoons/Thunderbird and
Thunderbird Chair.
Thunderbird’s leadership team will now be composed of Ms. Twiner

Global Distribution and Consumer Products. Lori Massini serves as
the Company’s General Counsel.
“We wish Matthew the absolute best in his new endeavor and thank
him for his creativity, vision, passion, and the key role he played
in growing the Company to where we are today, including overseeing
the launch of Atomic Originals, Thunderbird Scripted, Global
Distribution & Consumer Products, and supporting the expansion
of our production footprint," said Ms. Twiner McCarron. “We are so
proud of Matthew and are looking forward to working together in new
ways going forward.”
“I would like to thank Jennifer, our team, and all of the great
colleagues and partners we’ve worked with over the past seven
years,” said Mr. Berkowitz. “I am so proud of everything Atomic and
Thunderbird have achieved. This is just the beginning for the
Company, and with such an incredibly talented and accomplished
leadership team in place, and so many excellent productions on the
go, I cannot wait to see how it continues to flourish and
thrive.”
Thunderbird is also happy to announce that David Way has been
appointed to CEO of Great Pacific Media (GPM), which is the
Company’s unscripted subsidiary. Lindsay Macadam has been promoted
into the role of President at GPM.
“We are pleased to recognize both David and Lindsay for their
solid leadership of GPM,” said Ms. Twiner McCarron. “Over the last
four years GPM has reached new heights with the launch of seven new
series and two podcasts across a variety of unscripted genres, and
David and Lindsay are continuing to build on that.”
Ms. Twiner McCarron added, “Our people are the heart of
Thunderbird, and our future remains incredibly bright with great
visibility and productions booked into the coming years. We have a
very solid foundation to support the Company’s growth and have the
right leadership team in place for the next phase of Thunderbird’s
evolution.”
