About Shaun Barber

I hold an MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management and a B.S. degree in Molecular Biology from Lehigh University where I played Division I Lacrosse for 4 years as a Midfielder. In my 28 years in the Entertainment industry I’ve worked for both major, mini-major and independent studios. I’ve honed a wide variety of skills, related to numerous areas of business, including but not limited to personnel management, negotiations, interpersonal skills, sales and distribution, deal analysis, release dating, forecasting, budgeting, operations, market research, technology, quality control, business/legal contracts and A/R.Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, raised in NJ, live in Los Angeles, CA. There are no shortcuts to the top. You must be willing to work harder and smarter than the competition to be best in class. Embrace change and be ready to pivot in an ever changing business environment.
