As Chairman, Universal Filmed Entertainment Group, Donna Langley is responsible for the global creative strategy and business operations for the motion picture group. She oversees the production, marketing and distribution for film and television content across Universal Pictures, DreamWorks Animation (DWA), Focus Features, Universal Pictures International and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Under her strategic vision, Universal has been a consistent leader in the theatrical marketplace as the studio has successfully expanded its core franchises including Fast & Furious, How to Train Your Dragon, Jurassic World, and Despicable Me. Through her stewardship in building a franchise business and long-term filmmaker partnerships, she has positioned Universal a key content supplier to the broader NBCU portfolio. Prior, Langley served as Chairman of Universal Pictures where she engineered a strategic slate of all-audience tentpoles, breakthrough comedies, and pop-culture hit horror films that resulted in 4 years of record global profit, and the two most profitable years in the studio’s 108-year history. She is the first British female to run a major Hollywood studio, and was awarded a Dame Commander (DBE) title by the Queen in 2020.
